polynomials -- convert support set of exponents to polynomial

Description

Polynomials with indeterminate coefficients are determined by the exponents of their terms, which are elements in an integer lattice. These form a set which is referred to as support of the polynomial. Resultants depend on a system of such polynomials calcResultant.
i1 : supp = { {{1,1,3},{0,2,1},{2,0,4}}, {{0,1,3},{2,5,0}} };
i2 : A = QQ[c_1..c_(#flatten supp)];
i3 : R = A[t_1..t_(#(supp#0#0))];
i4 : f = polynomials(gens A, gens R, supp)
