#Multiply matrix by a vector
#vector can be same length as # columns in a, or can be longer,
#in which case b[kint] is added to a * b[s:length(b)], s=length(b)-ncol(a)+1
#F. Harrell 17 Oct90
#Mod         5 Jul91 - is.vector -> !is.matrix
#           16 Oct91 - as.matrix -> matrix(,nrow=1)
#	    29 Oct91 - allow b to be arbitrarily longer than ncol(a), use b(1)
#	    13 Nov91 - matrix(,nrow=1) -> matrix(,ncol=1)
#	    14 Nov91 - changed to nrow=1 if length(b)>1, ncol=1 otherwise
#	    25 Mar93 - changed to use %*%
#           13 Sep93 - added kint parameter
