Build Identifier: 

I'd like to expand the functionality of the Xfce weather plugin
and include Moon rise / Moon set data in the summary page, just like
it is already available for the Sun. Maybe add some more data, like
phase, age (in days), or an icon showing actual phase of Moon.

I have a working source base to show all these data, but would like to hear some opinions first before sending a patch.

Expected Results:  
NA

The solution would be based on glunarclock's code - it is also GPLed so using the code would mean no legal difficulties.

Initial patch, shows moonrise/moonset in summary page.

Includes CalcEphem.c, Moon.c, MoonRise.c + headers from latest available glunarclock version.

Re-assigning to Colin Leroy who is the new maintainer of the plugin.

The problem is that this makes use of the lat/long information present in
weather.com's feed, but that we shouldn't make use of (for some strange reason
their license forbids this.)
