; Convert from Julian day to local mean sidereal time.  By default the
; longitude of the GBT is used.
;
; <p>If you need local apparent sidereal time, then add the equation of
; the equinox to these values (see nutation_m()).
;
; <p>This code came from 
; <a href="http://www.naic.edu/~phil/">Phil Perillat</a> at Arecibo.
; Local changes:
; <UL>
; <LI> use the position of the GBT as the default position.
; <LI> modify this documentation for use by idldoc.
; <LI> modify to make use of the obslong keyword, which is now east
; longitude in degrees to match contents of gbtidl data container.
; </UL>
;  
; @param juldat {in}{required}{type=double} Array of julian days to
; convert.
;
; @keyword obslong {in}{optional}{type=double}{default=GBT} East longitude of observatory in degrees.
;
; @returns lmst[n]: double local mean sidereal time in radians
