  - #86: NAIF CSPICE integration: `novas_use_cspice()`, `novas_use_cspice_planets()`, `novas_use_cspice_ephem()`
    to use the NAIF CSPICE library for all Solar-system sources, major planets only, or for other bodies only. 
-   `NOVAS_EPHEM_OBJECTS` should use NAIF IDs with CSPICE (or else -1 for name-based lookup). 
-   Also provides `cspice_add_kernel()` and `cspice_remove_kernel()` functions for convenience to manage the set of
-   active kernels (#89). These functions are provided by the `libsolsys-cspice.so[.1]` and/or `.a` plugin libraries, 
-   which are built contingent on the `CSPICE_SUPPORT` variable being set to 1 prior to the build. The build of the 
-   plugin module requires an accessible installation of the CSPICE development files (C headers and unversioned static 
-   or shared libraries depending on the needs of the build).
