OK, i will move skybodies into skyobjects. I prefer not to put the files in the 
same directory though as functionality wise i think it makes more sense. I 
will add a note in the README file as suggested by James.

I can try to move the files in several times, starting by small and non 
controversial things such as cfitsio or xplanet related ones. That would allow 
to catch any mistake early on too.
