Name:GaussDiskConv - Convolution of a Gaussian with an excentric disk
Synopsis:R r0 GaussDiskConv -> result
Description:Computes the convolution of an excentric normalized Gaussian
with a disk
C[R, r0] = IInt[ disk(rvec; R) * Gauss(rvec - r_0vec) d^2rvec ]
= 2 Int[ r Exp[-r0^2-r^2] I_0[2 r r_0] dr, r=0..R]
Parameters:R radius of the disk, centered at origin
r0 distance of Gaussian center from origin
Examples:SLI ] 3.2 2.3 GaussDiskConv =
0.873191

Remarks:This integral is needed to compute the response of a DOG model to
excentric light spots, see [1]. For technicalities, see [2]. Requires GSL.
