axisar works, does not need to be in exclude_list in mkwrapper.py

getnaiftoolkit.py automates CSPICE installation.

This is cool stuff that might bring us forward to generate something more easily installable for the beginners. Happy New Year btw. I really think we should push PySPICE further this year, because my recent communication with Chuck Acton does not make me believe that there will be an official Python interface released anytime soon. :-( It has lowest priority, for some weird reason the Java interface got higher priority, it seems. :-1:

@drbitboy thanks for the contribution! Please take a look at the comments. Ideally this would be two pull requests:

The pull request for enabling spice.axisar() looks to be a no-brainer; if you make that its own pull request I'll merge it in straight away. After a couple of tweaks we can integrate getnaifspicetoolkit.py.

@michaelaye Happy New Year too! And it would be great to see PySPICE get more traction. I'll follow up in another thread.

btw, i think a better name for this would be spyce or Spyce or SPYCE; there is another PySPICE that involves the circuit simulation softwary SPICE.

@drbitboy, definitely an interesting idea; I'll open an issue to discuss.
