SLA_DSEPV - Angle Between 2 Vectors   

ACTION:
Angle between two vectors (double precision).
CALL:
D = sla_DSEPV (V1, V2)

GIVEN:

V1 D(3) first vector
V2 D(3) second vector

RETURNED:

sla_DSEPV D angle between V1 and V2 in radians

NOTES:
1.
There is no requirement for either vector to be of unit length.
2.
If either vector is null, zero is returned.
3.
The result is always positive.
