Package name collision #35

This is not the only package named "specter".

The link to ReadTheDocs in https://github.com/desihub/specter/blob/pip-installable-data/README.rst is actually to another package that happens to be called "Specter".

In addition, the other "specter" is already on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Specter/0.4.2.

For now, we can just try to pick a different name on ReadTheDocs. However, if we ever want to release specter on PyPI, we will have to think about changing the name of the whole package.

If the intended audience of this package is still the general astronomy community, releasing on PyPI will be essential.

Let's focus on getting specter visible on ReadTheDocs, and not worry about PyPI.
