wiz 2fcd331d25 Update to 3.290:
Version 3.29 - 2 December 2011

  Enhancements

   - modified Makefile.in to allow configure to override the lib and include
     destination directories.

   - added (or restored actually) support for tile compression of 1-byte integer
     images in imcomp_compress_tile.  Support for that data type was overlooked
     during recent updates to this routine.

   - modified the fits_get_token command-line parsing routine to perform more
     rigorous checks to determine if the token can be interpreted as a number
     or not.

   - made small modification to fpack.c to not allow the -i2f option (convert
     image from integer to floating point) with the "-g -q 0" option (do lossless
     gzip compression).  It is more efficient to simply use the -g option alone.

   - made modifications to fitsio.h and drvrfile.c to support reading and
     writing large FITS files (> 2.1 GB) when building CFITSIO using
     Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows platforms.

   - added new WCS routine (ffgicsa) which returns the WCS keyword values
     for a particular WCS version ('A' - 'Z').

   Bug Fixes

   - fixed a problem with multi-threaded apps that open/close FITS files
     simultaneously by putting mutex locks around the call to
     fits_already_open and in fits_clear_Fptr.

   - fixed a bug when using the 'regfilter' function to select a subset of the
     rows in a FITS table that have coordinates that lie within a specified
     spatial region on the sky.  This bug only affects the rarely used panda
     (and epanda and bpanda) region shapes in which the region is defined by
     the intersection of an annulus  and a pie-shaped wedge.  The previous code
     (starting with version 3.181 of CFITSIO where support for the panda region
     was first introduced) only worked correctly if the 2 angles that define
     the wedge have values between -180 and +180.  If not, then fewer rows than
     expected may have been selected from the table.

   - fixed the extended filename parser so that when creating a histogram by
     binning 2 table columns, if a keyword or column name is given as the
     weighting factor,  then the output histrogram image will have a floating
     point datatype, not the default integer datatype as is the case when no
     weigth is specified (e.g. with a filename like
     "myfile.fits[bin x,y; weight_column]"

   - added fix to the code in imcompress.c to work around a problem with
     dereferencing the value of a pointer, in cases where the address of
     that pointer has not been defined (e.g., the nulval variable).

    - modified the byte shuffling algorithm in fits_shuffle_8bytes to work
     around a strange bug in the proprietary SunStudioExpress C compiler
     under OpenSolaris.

   - removed spurious messages on the CFITSIO error stack when opening a
     FITS file with FTP (in drvrnet.c);
