13** Given:
14** a,b float spherical coordinates in radians
15** (RA,Dec), (long,lat) etc
16**
17** Returned:
18** v float[3] x,y,z unit vector
19**
20** The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
21** looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude. The
22** Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the x axis
23** at zero longitude and latitude, and the z axis at the
24** +ve latitude pole.
