*  Name:
*     palEcmat

*  Purpose:
*     Form the equatorial to ecliptic rotation matrix - IAU 2006
*     precession model.

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     palEcmat( double date, double rmat[3][3] )

*  Arguments:
*     date = double (Given)
*        TT as Modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5). The difference
*        between TT and TDB is of the order of a millisecond or two
*        (i.e. about 0.02 arc-seconds).
*     rmat = double[3][3] (Returned)
*        Rotation matrix

*  Description:
*     The equatorial to ecliptic rotation matrix is found and returned.
*     The matrix is in the sense   V(ecl)  =  RMAT * V(equ);  the
*     equator, equinox and ecliptic are mean of date.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Pat Wallace (STFC)
