Transmogrify (TMF) is a fast, accurate and easy to use C library for
astronomical coordinate and time transformations.

Currently implemented are functions to:

* Convert between angles in degrees, radians and h, m, s notations.
* Convert between dates in the Julian or Gregorian calendar and Julian days.
* General purpose coordinate transformations, e.g. Cartesian, polar,
  spherical and cylindrical.
* Calculate nutation and obliquity of the ecliptic.
* Calculate sidereal time (GMST, GAST and LAST).
* Convert between equatorial and horizontal (azimuth/elevation) coordinates.
* Convert between equatorial and galactic coordinates.
* Convert directions between J2000 and B1950 epochs.

Also provided are SWIG generated bindings to allow all functions to be called from other languages (currently Python only).
