Modernizing with ES6 classes, modules and smarter build process about vesseljs HOT 3 OPEN

Hi Elias,

Good point, we just need to find the time to organise all this mess. Note that our package is already at NPM (https://www.npmjs.com/package/ntnu-vessel - vessel.js was taken!).

We can have a meeting in October to take a look on it and keep testing the examples.

I'll call for a meeting to update us all on it.

Note that classes are backward-compatible with the current prototype pattern. Some simple ones may be upgraded right away, independently of the others.

Note also that some conversions to classes will require a bit more effort than others. This is especially true in the cases where prototypes have method definitions within IIFE closures. We will need to move away from that pattern, like the three.js devs have just done. No big deal, actually, except maybe with the Hull class. (Manageable too.)
