burntool : updated to newest version, ipp_apply_burntool.pl modified to use persist=t options
ppImageBurntoolMask.c : masks region burntool identifies
psastro : allow selection of wcs header format
addtool : splits addstar step off from the camera stage

+        The fit to downward, persistence burns may have an unreasonable "slope"
+        (meaning exponential sign), increasing away from the burn origin.

+        until they finally achieve a legal fit with negligible amplitude.
