/**@class KSPluto
	*A subclass of KSAsteroid that represents the planet Pluto.  Now, we 
	*are certainly NOT claiming that Pluto is an asteroid.  However, the 
	*findPosition() routines of KSPlanet do not work properly for Pluto.
	*We had been using a unique polynomial expansion for Pluto, but even
	*this fails spectacularly for dates much more remote than a few 
	*hundred years.  We consider it better to instead treat Pluto's 
	*orbit much more simply, using elliptical orbital elements as we do 
	*for asteroids.  In order to improve the long-term accuracy of Pluto's
	*position, we are also including linear approximations of the evolution
	*of each orbital element with time.
	*
	*The orbital element data (including the time-derivatives) come from 
	*the NASA/JPL website:  http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/elem_planets.html
