Form:
xDot = FVarEq( x, t, eType, aD, tol, mu )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
x Elements vector [a;i;W;w;e;M] or [a;P1;P2;Q1;Q2;l]
t Current time (for use with RK4)
eType 'eqt','eqp','elt','elp' where
'eq' --> equinoctial
'el' --> elements (Gauss formulation)
't' --> tangential
'p' --> polar
aD Disturbance vector [tangent;normal;z]
tol Tolerance for Kepler's equation solver
mu Gravitational parameter
-------
Outputs
-------
xDot Derivative of the elements
