So, as announced on the mailing list, here is the code I use to query the SIMBAD database.

There's still work to be done, mainly on the documentation side, but it's working, at least for me. The interface is quite different from already included subpackages, so I guess we'll need to discuss on the way to harmonize this.

I like it. As with the other tools in the package, we need more examples in the docs, and similarly it would be nice to make the interfaces more uniform, but until we do that everywhere, I see no reason not to include this code as it stands. @astrofrog, agree?

I agree, we haven't settled on a consistent API yet, so let's just include it for now and then try to make everything uniform later.
