Title: Arc distance julia

From @serge-sans-paille

"""
I gave it a try in

https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/python-benchmarks

using a small makefile infrastructure to run static compilers when
needed (cython & pythran).

It's completely linux-centric...

I started with the allmighty julia fractal code, from the cython
tutorial given by Kurt during Scipy. Yuancheng added the arc_distance
code.

I failed to get good performance with numba and encountered an error
with parakeet, so feel free to PR to update the codes accordingly.

The code is slightly less structured than what Andy suggested, I opted
for Alex KISS proposal as the benchmark codes are quite simple too.

Any proposal / update / criticism are welcome !
