blowup

Usage:
	<blowup J T L
L is set to be the ideal with standard basis defining the Rees 
ring R[tJ] as a quotient ring of a polynomial ring T over the base 
ring R of J.  The variable "t" is the first variable of T.
Parameters:
  J = ideal to blowup.
  T = a polynomial ring over R in variables whose weights are 
  proportional to the degrees of the generators of J.
Output values:
 L = the result ideal in T.
The ring R may be a quotient ring. 
The ideal L defining the blowup ring R[tJ] is
obtained by eliminating "t" from the ideal K produced by the script
"blowup0".  The situation is summarized by the following diagram:
	K ---> S = R[t,y] --->> R[t]   (y[i] |--> tJ[i])
	|        |               |     
L ---> T = R[y]   --->> R[tJ]

where the vertical lines represent inclusions.
It is convenient to form the ring T by making a polynomial ring whose
generators correspond to the generators of J, and then use ring-sum
to tensor this ring with R.
Caveats:
If the ring T has more generators than needed, the correct
initial subset is chosen.
