9** Equation of the equinoxes (IAU 1994, double precision).
10**
11** Given:
12** date double TDB (loosely ET) as Modified Julian Date
13** (JD-2400000.5)
14**
15** The result is the equation of the equinoxes (double precision)
16** in radians:
17**
18** Greenwich apparent ST = Greenwich mean ST + equation of the equinoxes
19**
