SunController.subsolarPoint() method is flawed
Issue #56
resolved
- The internal JulianDate calculation is off by 30 and a fraction days (I suspect the Calendar.MONTH usage assumes 1 for January when in fact it is 0).
- The adjustment for greenwhichMeanSidereal throws things off.

Globe: Fixed SunlightController subsolarPoint calculation. Resolves
#56. - Added a JRE6/7 Julian date method. Replaced subsolar point algorithm's internal JD computation with new JD method; changed computation of greenwich mean sidereal time.→ <<cset 398ec96a900f>>
