**  Spherical coordinates to direction cosines.
**
**  (single precision)
**
**  Given:
**     a,b      float     spherical coordinates in radians
**                        (RA,Dec), (long,lat) etc
**
**  Returned:
**     v        float[3]  x,y,z unit vector
**
**  The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
**  looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude.  The
**  Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the x axis
**  at zero longitude and latitude, and the z axis at the
**  +ve latitude pole.
