Include the SPICE sources as a submodule instead #7

I know I said this could wait, but I think you should deal with this sooner rather than later. I'll email you an intro to submodules, and can walk you through it if you want sometime.

Hi John,

All the git submodule tutorials I went through speak of using a git repository as a submodule but there is no official GitHub repository for the C SPICE sources. Is there a way to use local sources or an ftp URL as a submodule, I'm not sure how to proceed here.

I'll look around a bit, but why don't you ask on the naif-spice listserv where the official development repository is?

Looks like they don't have one. Let's ask them to create one, and if they won't, then we'll do it. There may be a way to script it pulling updates and unzipping them, but let's not worry about that just yet.
