[evlatests] planet tracking

[Bryan Butler]

i've tested this again, at K-band.  it's clear that there is an offset 
in the "polynomial" style tracking.  it's harder to tell with the 
internal ephemeris style, because i can't self-cal and the data was 
taken during day time last week so the phase is not what one might like 
for such an experiment.  if i can get some time, i will try this again 
with jupiter, which is at least an early nighttime object, to see if i 
can hit better phase conditions.  i'll summarize all of this at this 
morning's test meeting.
