I modified the light balancing code. Light balancing is similar to photometric optimization in panotools, but so far it's looking at brightness only. Previously, the light balance was calculated for all partial images visible in the current view, now it always looks at all partial images, which is more intuitive and produces the same result every time. I also renamed the command line parameter 'aeb_auto_brightness' to 'light_balance', to clarify that this in not only for exposure brackets, but for all synoptic work.

The new code is quite fast, I made the effort to code 'all the way through' to the vspline level, where I introduced code specific to reductions. With this groundworks, the light balancing is now fully multithreaded SIMD code, and there is no more need for intermediate images, everything is done at the pixel pipeline level.

For those of you who'd like to try out the new code, I've uploaded a debian package and a windows bundle of a current development snapshot:
