xphoon sets the X root window to a picture of the moon in its current
phase, including the partial lighting of the dark side by reflected
earthlight. Picture is a monochrome dithered bitmap which is calculated
via mathematical formulae. It keeps running on background updating the
picture accordingly as time goes by.
