Geocentric Translation

A three-parameter translation between two geocentric coordinate systems.  This is a non-simplified Molodensky transformation.  There are three steps that are performed by this transformation.  First the input point is represented as a Cartesian point in three dimensions on the input datum.  The coordinates of this point are then translated using the dx, dy, and dz parameters.  Finally, the translated point is represented converted to a geodetic point on the output datum.
