  The Included Angle to Heading algorithm is used to find the smallest included
  angle (the angle less than or equal to 180 degrees) to a specified heading
  from the current heading. The sense of the rotation to get to that angle is
  also calculated (positive 1 for a clockwise rotation, negative 1 for counter-
  clockwise).
  
  The angle to the heading is calculated as follows:
 
  Given an angle phi:
 
  V = cos(phi)i + sin(phi)j     (this is a unit vector)
 
  The dot product for two, 2D vectors is written:
 
  V1*V2 = |V1||V2|cos(phi)
 
  Since the magnitude of a unit vector is 1, we can write the equation as
  follows:
 
  V1*V2 = cos(phi)
 
  or,
 
  phi  = acos(V1*V2)
 
  or,
 
  phi  = acos[ cos(phi1)cos(phi2) + sin(phi1)sin(phi2) ]

//       the config files as they are read. If the environment
//       variable is not set, debug_lvl is set to 1 internally
//    0: This requests JSBSim not to output any messages
//       whatsoever.
//    1: This value explicity requests the normal JSBSim
//       startup messages
//    2: This value asks for a message to be printed out when
//       a class is instantiated
//    4: When this value is set, a message is displayed when a
//       FGModel object executes its Run() method
//    8: When this value is set, various runtime state variables
//       are printed out periodically
//    16: When set various parameters are sanity checked and
//       a message is printed out when they go out of bounds
