Summary: Irregular Swaption Pricing Engine

Initial Comment:
This code implements the method of Hunt / Kennedy (Finance Stochast. 2, 275–293 (1998)) to find the price of a irregular european swaption; 

For getting the code running one has to do some additional work on setting up  the instruments expected, i.e. an irregular swap and an irregular swaption. The irregular swap shall be  set up by using appropriate legs. Legs are used because here the irregular features can be specified easily. Therefore it  is basically derived from the swap and only altered in respect of adding the ususal Payer/Receiver specification.
For the same reason the swaption instrument must be alteres to make it working with this particular type of swap.

A question before I can apply the patch: who owns the copyright of the code
you contributed? Is it you, your employer, your own company...? Posting the
copyright attribution I should use, i.e., something like
    Copyright (C) 2010 Random J. Hacker
or
    Copyright (C) 2010 ACME inc.
would be best.
