We have a "sunpos.inc". Has anyone ever written a "moonpos.inc"?

I had one but it is lost. The information that I based sunpos on is now 
@ http://www.stjarnhimlen.se/comp/ppcomp.html
Info on the moon calculation and planets is there too. The link in 
sunpos should be updated I think, the other links in there are long gone

A general Moon macro that defaults to our moon and where you plug in a 
few data could be nice to create other systems. Same for planets

There's no documentation so I'm not sure what to input.

Also, I don't think it takes into account your location on the Earth.

Anyway, I can live without it.
