Detailed Description

template<unsigned int Dimension>
struct XEngine::Math::DistanceAlgorithms::DistanceRectangleToRectangle< Dimension >

Returns the distance between the two given rectangles.

	Given two rectangles we can get the minimum squared distance by minimizing
	the function
		Q(s0, t0, s1, t1) = |R0(s0, t0) - R1(s1, t1)|^2 
	with s0, t0, s1 and t1 in [0, 1].
	Since we already have a segment-to-rectangle distance algorithm we can
	simply use that one and get the minimum distance from each edge of the 
	first rectangle to the second rectangle and vice versa.
