*
*  Long-term precession of the equator.
*
*  This routine is part of the International Astronomical Union's
*  SOFA (Standards of Fundamental Astronomy) software collection.
*
*  Status:  support routine.
*
*  Given:
*     EPJ       d        Julian epoch (TT)
*
*  Returned:
*     VEQ       d(3)     equator pole unit vector
*
*  Notes:
*
*  1) The returned vector is with respect to the J2000.0 mean equator
*     and equinox.
*
*  2) The Vondrak et al. (2011, 2012) 400 millennia precession model
*     agrees with the IAU 2006 precession at J2000.0 and stays within
*     100 microarcseconds during the 20th and 21st centuries.  It is
*     accurate to a few arcseconds throughout the historical period,
*     worsening to a few tenths of a degree at the end of the
*     +/- 200,000 year time span.
