function W_nullpwd = sphNullformer_pwd(order, beam_dirs)
%SPHNULLFORMER_PWD Beamweights for a PWD beamformer at a specified direction, 
%with nulls at others
%   
%   For a set of K directions, computes the beamforming weights that creates
%   a PWD beamformer at each of the direction in the set, while placing
%   nulls at the rest.
%
%   Inputs:
%       order:  order of SH signals
%       beam_dirs:  Kx2 [azi elev] directions
%
%   Outputs:
%       W_nullpwd:  (order+1)^2xK matrix of beamweights, one set per
%           column for each beamforming direction
