*! Version 1.0.3 15 Feb, 2007
*! Version 1.0.2 10 Apr, 2006
*! Version 1.0.1  1 Aug, 2005
*! Version 1.0 sometime in 2004
*! ..Purpose:
*! vincenty is used for calculating geodesic distances
*! between a pair of points on the surface of the Earth
*! (specified in signed decimal degrees latitude and longitude),
*! using an accurate ellipsoidal model of the Earth.
*! see http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/inverse.pdf
*! ..Acknowledgements:
*! The program is named for Thaddeus Vincenty who wrote
*! "Direct and Inverse Solutions of Geodesics on the Ellipsoid
*! with application of nested equations" but the code
*! borrows extensively from Javascript code at
*! http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/LatLongVincenty.html
*! [accessed 1 Aug, 2005].
*! ..Limitations:
*! The calculations are accurate to insane precision
*! assuming elevation above the ellipsoid is zero, so the
*! real 3D distance could differ substantially.
*! Note that elevation, even if available, cannot be
*! included in these calculations.
*! The calculations fail if distance is close to a quarter
*! of the Earth's circumference, or if it is close to zero,
*! where the trig functions tax the limits of
*! machine precision.
