Redoing the r13221-13223 merge in the actual trunk now. This updates trunk to the setup_refactoring branch (however, coords, pysynphot, and pywcs are still being pulled from the astrolib setup_refactoring branch. Will have to do that separately then update the svn:externals)

+""" STWCS
+
+This package provides support for WCS based distortion models and coordinate
+transformation. It relies on PyWCS (based on WCSLIB). It consists of two subpackages:
+updatewcs and wcsutil. Updatewcs performs corrections to the basic WCS and includes
+other distortion infomation in the science files as header keywords or file extensions.
+Wcsutil provides an HSTWCS object which extends pywcs.WCS object and provides HST instrument
+specific information as well as methods for coordinate tarnsformaiton. Wcsutil also provides
+functions for manipulating alternate WCS descriptions in the headers.
