I have changed all the Irregular3DSet constructors to public.
I don't know when we will update the VisAD ftp server, but
feel free to make the change in your copy. Originally I didn't
make constructors with 'copy' public, because they allow
applications to alter samples values after the constructor,
which can result in inconsistencies and Exceptions.

Cheers,
Bill
