Given points c1, c2, c3 and c4 of a cubic Bezier, the points of the
corresponding quadratic Bezier are (given in convex combinations of
points):

q1 = (11/13)c1 + (3/13)c2 -(3/13)c3 + (2/13)c4
q2 = -c1 + (3/2)c2 + (3/2)c3 - c4
q3 = (2/13)c1 - (3/13)c2 + (3/13)c3 + (11/13)c4

Of course, this curve does not interpolate the end-points, but it would
be interesting to see the behaviour of such a curve in an applet.
