Need implementation of IDL GEOPACK get_w routine to get coefficients for TS04 model #763

IDL GEOPACK has a routine to calculate the W coefficients from OMNI data. In Python, we're downloading data files from Tsyganenko's web site. It would be better to generate them directly from OMNI data, in case Tsyganenko's site has an outage, as occurred yesterday.
