Hi Jason,

thank you for reviewing my patches.

I've just copied and pasted the original algorithm, which defines equator, 
horizon and ecliptic at once. As there the horizon and ecliptic will defined 
by using the equator as starting point, I thought that it is necessary to 
init first the equator and then the horizon component by using the equator. 
But as you are more familar with these algorithms, feel free to change it.

This is definitively an obsolete file which just existed locally on my svn 
copy.

I'm not at home for the next 2 weeks, so I will not commit anything, just 
answer the mails as far as possible. So feel free, to remove the comments. On 
my TODO list are now the planets and comets, I will commit after I'm back 
home.

Regards,
Thomas
