CVS commit by pvicente: 

VLSR calculator module

Added a function TopocentricVelocity() which returns, in the parameter list, an array \
with thevelocity of a point on the surface of the Earth in km/s, for a given date and \
time. This value may be used for computing the radial velocity of a source referred \
to a local point on the surface of the Earth once the LSR velocity of that source is \
known. The X and Y axis are contained in the equator and the X axis is towards the \
nodes line. The Z axis is along the poles.
