Assemble the celestial to terrestrial matrix from CIO-based
components (the celestial-to-intermediate matrix, the Earth Rotation
Angle and the polar motion matrix).

Given:
   rc2i     double[3][3]    celestial-to-intermediate matrix
   era      double          Earth rotation angle (radians)
   rpom     double[3][3]    polar-motion matrix

Returned:
   rc2t     double[3][3]    celestial-to-terrestrial matrix

Notes:

1) This function constructs the rotation matrix that transforms
   vectors in the celestial system into vectors in the terrestrial
   system.  It does so starting from precomputed components, namely
   the matrix which rotates from celestial coordinates to the
   intermediate frame, the Earth rotation angle and the polar motion
   matrix.  One use of the present function is when generating a
   series of celestial-to-terrestrial matrices where only the Earth
   Rotation Angle changes, avoiding the considerable overhead of
   recomputing the precession-nutation more often than necessary to
   achieve given accuracy objectives.

2) The relationship between the arguments is as follows:

      [TRS] = RPOM * R_3(ERA) * rc2i * [CRS]

            = rc2t * [CRS]

   where [CRS] is a vector in the Geocentric Celestial Reference
   System and [TRS] is a vector in the International Terrestrial
   Reference System (see IERS Conventions 2003).

Called:
   eraCr        copy r-matrix
   eraRz        rotate around Z-axis
   eraRxr       product of two r-matrices
