There is a feature request about adding the aspect ratio, see
http://developer.berlios.de/feature/?func=detailfeature&feature_id=5134&group_id=9034

 I wonder whether this is not only a nice feature but actually
necessary.

 According to
<http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/lensfun/trunk/libs/lensfun/mod-color.cpp>,
LensFun uses two different coordinate systems, but only for
vignetting, it uses the *diagonal* as the reference length.  At the
same time, only the length of the diagonal is known if you only know
the cropfactor (and not the aspect ratio).

 As long as all sensors share the very same aspect ratio, this is not
a problem.  But in general, either the aspect ratio should be stored
for every <camera>, or Lensfun should use the diagonal as the
reference system for all lens errors.  The latter is hardly feasible,
given that all current data needs to be transformed.  (It's
mathematically possible but not lossless.)
