Fixes from Maik Justus:
+ The wing compilation step was accidentally omitting regions that lie between the tips and the first/last control object. That's a real problem for wings that contain no controls, and a significant issue for those that contain only a few. I'm stunned that this went undetected for so long. + The Surface::flapLift() function was oddly returning 1.0 Newtons as a minimum, instead of zero.
