Description : The PAL library is a partial re-implementation of Pat Wallace's popular SLALIB
: library written in C using a Gnu GPL license and layered on top of the IAU's
: SOFA library (or the BSD-licensed ERFA) where appropriate. PAL attempts to
: stick to the SLA C API where possible although palObs() has a more C-like API
: than the equivalent slaObs() function. In most cases it is enough to simply
: change the function prefix of a routine in order to link against PAL rather
: than SLALIB. Routines calling SOFA use modern nutation and precession models
: so will return slightly different answers than native SLALIB. PAL functions
: not available in SOFA were ported from the Fortran version of SLALIB that
: ships as part of the Starlink software and uses a GPL licence.
