/* given the modified JD, mjd, return the true geocentric ecliptic longitude
 *   of the sun for the mean equinox of the date, *lsn, in radians, the
 *   sun-earth distance, *rsn, in AU, and the latitude *bsn, in radians
 *   (since this is always <= 1.2 arcseconds, in can be neglected by
 *   calling with bsn = NULL).
 *
 * if the APPARENT ecliptic longitude is required, correct the longitude for
 *   nutation to the true equinox of date and for aberration (light travel time,
 *   approximately  -9.27e7/186000/(3600*24*365)*2*pi = -9.93e-5 radians).
