/**
* Function: distVincenty
* Given two objects representing points with geographic coordinates, this
* calculates the distance between those points on the surface of an
* ellipsoid.
*
* Parameters:
* p1 - {<OpenLayers.LonLat>} (or any object with both .lat, .lon properties)
* p2 - {<OpenLayers.LonLat>} (or any object with both .lat, .lon properties)
*
* Returns:
* {Float}
* {Float} The distance (in km) between the two input points as measured on an
* ellipsoid. Note that the input point objects must be in geographic
* coordinates (decimal degrees) and the return distance is in kilometers.
