Please check all other Vector implemenations as well (ArrayFieldvector seems to have the same bug)

> Currently RealMatrix M = x.outerProduct(y) throws an exception if x and y are different sizes. This is as documented  in the Javadoc but not what one expects mathematically (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_product) - the vectors can be any size.
> So please remove the restriction that the vectors should be the same size, as this doesn't seem to be necessary either mathematically or in terms of the implementation.
