Title: Besancon asciireader

An ascii table reader for Besancon galaxy models (model.obs-besancon.fr). It's a nearly trivial modification of the FixedWidth reader, but with some hacks: the header does NOT obey the same fixed-width rules as the data, and there are no clear identifying features for the header line so it must be specified as a line number. Also, there are 6 trailing lines that need to be ignored. Better implementation ideas are welcome.
