(Goal)Position at Start of frame,  at End of frame , linear interpolated in
Time. The solver needs to take smaller time steps than one frame.
Calulating goal spring forces uses the interpolated positions.

I did not want to throw away the default calculation, before this discussion
was finished so i used "rcs" to signal if springs are already calculated or
"default" should do it.

It all was there once *sigh*

Definitly, that's how it was before Daniel *optimized* it all away.
Well i was a little frustrated then and decided to wait until that modifier
stack hype was over. So now i speak up.
