    Computes a list of best approximation vectors based on the CVP

    computed vector using the differences between this vector and the 

    target function vector.

    @param intVect the vector from which candidates are built

    @param diffsList the list of the values that will be appended to the

           initial vector to form the candidates

    @return A matrix made of candidates rows or None if there is some invalid

            argument.

    @par How it works

    The idea is to create all the possible vectors based on the computed CVP

    vector and its differences to the target. Those are collected in 

    diffsList.@n

    From the vector we create all the possible combinations between the original

    value and the differences in diffsList. Some of those can be equal to 0.

    They are not taken into account. If nonZeroDiffsCount is the number of 

    diffsList element different from 0, there are 2^nonZeroDiffsCount 

    possible variants.@n

    To compute those, we build a 2^nonZeroDiffsCount rows matrix. For the

    first element in the vector corresponding to a non-zero in diffsList, we

    switch values in the matrix at every row.@n

    For the second such element (non-zero corresponding diffsList element), we

    switch values in the matrix at every second row for a string of two similar 

    values.@n

    For the third such element, change happens at every fourth row, for a 

    string of four similar values. And so on...
