%VEXA Convert augmented skew-symmetric matrix to vector
%
% V = VEXA(S) is the vector which has the corresponding augmented skew-symmetric 
% matrix S.  
%
% In the case that S (3x3) = 
%
%               |  0  -v3  v1 |
%               | v3    0  v2 |
%               |  0    0   0 |
%
% then V = [v1; v2; v3].  In the case that S (6x6) = 
%
%
%               |  0  -v6   v5  v1 |
%               | v6    0  -v4  v2 |
%               |-v5   v4    0  v3 |
%               |  0    0    0   0 |
%
% then V = [v1; v2; v3; v4; v5; v6].
%
% Notes::
% - This is the inverse of the function SKEWA().
% - The matrices are the generator matrices for se(2) and se(3).  The elements
%   comprise the equivalent twist vector.
