Time scale transformation:  Terrestrial Time, TT, to Universal Time,
UT1.

Given:
   tt1,tt2    double    TT as a 2-part Julian Date
   dt         double    TT-UT1 in seconds

Returned:
   ut11,ut12  double    UT1 as a 2-part Julian Date

Returned (function value):
              int       status:  0 = OK

Notes:

1) tt1+tt2 is Julian Date, apportioned in any convenient way between
   the two arguments, for example where tt1 is the Julian Day Number
   and tt2 is the fraction of a day.  The returned ut11,ut12 follow
   suit.

2) The argument dt is classical Delta T.
