the program, psastro-mktest, will generate a set of fake test data for
psastro.  the config file 'psastro-mktest.conf' gives an example setup
for this program.  It generates 4 output files:

- cmpfile : this is a basic elixir-style cmp file (stars plus header)
  which can be taken as input to psastro

- catfile : this is a basic text reference catalog, which the current
  psastro loads as a reference

- rawfile : this is a text listing of all astrometry stages for the
  generated stars: readout, cell, chip, fpa, tpa, sky, with the last
  two columns being the magnitudes.  this file is generated by
  applying the transformations starting at the readout and going
  step-by-step to the sky.

- reffile : this is the inverse of the preceeding file, with the
  resulting sources transformed from the sky coordinates down
  step-by-step to the readout pixels.  If the transformations are
  functioning, these two files (rawfile & reffile) should be identical
  within floating point errors.

examples:

build a fake dataset
# psastro-mktest doc/psastro-mktest.conf test.cmp test.cat test.raw test.ref

run psastrom on the fake data:
# psastro doc/psastro.conf test.cmp test.dat
