I cannot check the actual Windows implementation before Chris has compiled it
for us;-). But the respective thread in the forum displayed different orbit
colors, and I find this a good idea. Usually now, with all the small moons etc
implemented, /lots/ of orbits are displayed in one window, so different colors
help considerably to distinguish "who is who"...

Yes, please, check this in! I always hoped this most useful map feature for
amateur astronomers will be implemented one day!
