Nice to see it's working.

I built it from svn-trunk and it's working fine. The positions seems
rigth accurate but the magnitude estimation is not similar to other
programms.
For 144P/Kushida (i hope i can take a picture of it tonight) Guide,
SkyChart and The Sky(c) are showing a magnitude of 11.2 but KStars shows
13.6.

Also the sun distance is wrong (2.33 in KStars, 1.45 in all other progs).

The real brightness is around mag 9 to 10 now. therefore the estimation
of mag 11.2 is not so bad.
