- Fixed a bug in tutorial 31 that was noticed by Michael Krone. The normals in the
VS must be normalized before they are sent to the TCS. This caused a visual anomaly around the monkey's eyes in the demo.

Feb-15, 2011
Fixed a couple of bugs in tutorial 18:
- When transforming the normal to world space in the vertex shader we must place zero
in the fourth component. Without this the lighting looks correct only when the object
is located at the origin. When the object is translated the normals must remain the same.
This is achieved by the zero.
- When calculating the vertex normals we must normalize the result of the cross product
because it is not guaranteed to be of unit length.
