Merged a pretty big update to my Haskell bindings to swiss ephemeris:

Refactored the time type to be able to type-safely work with universal or ephemeris types without mixing them up.
Introduced a way to generate and read "precalculated" ephemeris in a binary file, making sequential reads of multi-planet ephemeris much faster.
Ported a few functions for heliocentric "crossing" finding (when a given planet may cross a given longitude,) as well as a couple of original functions not provided by the underlying C library: geocentric crossing if the rough beginning and end times are known, and when a moon phase may become exact.
Ported functions for eclipses and planetary phenomena.
