Description:
Calculates the volume of a torus (3D donut shape).

Return Values:
Returns a simple value.

Example:

<CFSET MajorRadius=12>
  <CFSET MinorRadius=3>
  <CFOUTPUT>
  Given:
  <UL>
  <LI>MajorRadius=#MajorRadius#
  <LI>MinorRadius=#MinorRadius#
  </UL>
  The volume of the torus is #VolTorus(MajorRadius, MinorRadius)#
  </CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:
