Whiteboard

Preliminary implementation done. See http://stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Satellites_plugin for details.

After the SolarSystem / Planet re-write, we need to plot using 3d coordinates so the cloud of satellites will be visible from other bodies than the Earth. For now it's just Ele/Azi plotting, Earth only.
