Makes sense.

For now I will move it to a new top level package within the holopy 
project, so we will have
lp:holopy/dev/holopy
             /scatterpy

And will move all of the associated 3rd party code that is only used for 
scattering calculations into a third party directory in scatterpy.  That 
will make it relatively straightforward to spin it of into an entirely 
seperate package whenever we so choose.

scatterpy is a good enough name for me, we can do a little more 
brainstorming, or just go with it.
