           Description: In the ephemeris tables read by MeasComet,

there is a new optional keyword "posrefsys" now.
If it exists,
it is tested for _containing_ one of the following strings (case doesn't matter):

J2000, B1950, APP, ICRS, TOPO

If so, the correspoding MDirection type is assumed.
If it has an invalid value, there is an error.

If "posrefsys" does not exist then
if "obsloc" exists and is "GEOCENTRIC" (as in your files)
     the type is assumed to be J2000.
Otherwise, if geodist > 0, it is TOPO.
Otherwise it is APP.

           Description: Modified the interpretation of the posrefsys 
			keyword in MeasComet slightly:
The new behaviour is as follows:
If posrefsys exists 
it is tested for _containing_ one of the following strings (case doesn't matter):

J2000, B1950, APP, ICRS, TOPO

If so, the correspoding MDirection type is assumed.
If it has an invalid value, there is an error.

If "posrefsys" does not exist then
   if geodist > 0, it is TOPO.
   Otherwise it is APP.

           Description: Fixes and changes from Ger which we
			discussed and introduced after the discovery
			of a bug in the method
			rfind(const string& str, size_type pos).
			It was internally using std::find instead of 
			std::rfind.
			On this occasion several other shortcomings
			of the String class were found.
			Changed in particular was the default value
			for the pos parameter in rfind (was 0, now is npos)
			and the type of the pos parameter in contains
			(was int, now is size_type, negative values
			no longer permitted).
			Anologous changes were also made in ::before
			::after, ::from.
			And improvements were made to upcase, downcase,
			capitalize, reverse, fcompare.
			The documentation was tidied up.

Fixed:  MSSelection::toTableExprNode() was not using msLike->table(). That
would make it throw seg. fault when the MSSelection module was used
with CalTables (fix courtesy Geroge M.)
