* Full handling of weight-maps in input and output,
* Ability to work with very large images (up to 500 Mpixels on
32-bit machines and 10^6 Tpixels with 64-bits), thanks to customized
virtual-memory-mapping and buffering,
* Works with arrays in up to 9 dimensions (including or not two spherical
coordinates),
* Selectable high-order interpolation method (up to 8-tap filters) in any
dimension,
* Compatible with WCS and TNX (IRAF) astrometric descriptions,
* Support for equatorial, galactic and equatorial coordinate systems,
