Description:
Calculates the volume of an ellipsoid.

Return Values:
Returns a simple value.

Example:

<CFSET radius1=2>
  <CFSET radius2=4>
  <CFSET radius3=6>
  <CFOUTPUT>
  Given:
  <UL>
  <LI>radius1=#radius1#
  <LI>radius2=#radius2#
  <LI>radius3=#radius3#
  </UL>
  The volume of the ellipsoid is #VolEllipsoid(radius1, radius2, radius3)#
  </CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:
