FFEccDYDX:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compute the slope of an ellipse, dy/dx, at a particular true anomaly.
Here, x is along the major axis and y is along the minor axis.
This function is called by the "FFEccTrueAnomZInc" function to find the true
anomaly at which the maximum cross-track separation occurs, assuming a pure
inclination difference (no right ascension difference). At this true anomaly,
the slope (dy/dx) of the ellipse is equal to the tangent of the argument of
perigee, w.
If the argument of perigee is passed as a third input, the
difference between the slope and tan(w) will be returned.
Since version 7.
