ML2K:

Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord

% Eccentric longitude from the mean longitude by solving Kepler's equation. 
   If meanLong is not entered a vector from 0 to 2*pi is used.

   Since version 1.

   Form:
   eccLong = ML2K( P1, P2, meanLong, tol, nmax )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   P1                   e sin(longitude of pericenter)
   P2                   e cos(longitude of pericenter)
   meanLong             Mean longitude
   tol                  Tolerance for Newton-Raphson (default 1e-8)
   nMax                 Max number of iterations (default is inf)
