Since d91a617423 (vectory color calculations)
all 4 elements of a color were scaled with the respective brightness.
The caused some panels to be transparent at night etc.
Before the change, only the 3 RGB elements of the colors were scaled,
while the 4th element (alpha channel?) remained unaltered.
Commit restores the alpha elements to their original behaviour.
=> "Quick hack" for 2.6.0. Need s.o. to double check the initial changes
and commit something clean to "next".
Commit 5f0066c resulted in an incorrect angle calculation. At certain view/sun
angles "hor_rotation" and "rf1" would skip from the minimum to the maximum
value).
Also, an offset angle of 90 degrees (PI/2) is added, which seems to align
the sky effect with the sun position. Calculation is probably still wrong,
but seems less wrong than before - and the flickering is gone...
Fog color became negative at certain sun angles (around midnight), which
resulted in weird sky dome coloring issues.
Hack: simply clamp the value for now.
Add range checks and provide error messages.
Extend time offset to 64bit - so we're safe for 2038-01-19 (and the next
couple of millions years beyond...).
Support partial date/time strings, such as --start-date-gmt=2011 or
--start-date-gmt=:::12:00:00
For use with frame rate throtteling make use of
SGTimeStamp::sleepUntil. This function should cover the
system dependent parts of accurate sleeps and should
move the system dependent code out of the time manager.

There were two issues. The biggest is that the sunsolver was accessing
parameters from the ephemeris and doing a different calculation with
them to derive the right ascension and declination of the sun. I'm not
sure who is right, but I changed sunsolver to agree with the
ephemeris. Also, there was an inappropriate use of geodetic
coordinates in calculating the sun latitude and longitude.
Also, I did some cleanup in updateSunPos().
Was: allow sound effects in the configuration file to be added to the 'avionics' sample group by setting '<type>avionics</type>'.
but this change obviously snuck in with that.
