  Description     : Create display and manipulate the world coordinate 
system
 WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create,
 display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF
 image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel
 position within the image to position on the sky.  Auxillary programs
 search star catalogs and manipulate images.

This package is built in preparation to build saods9
<http://bugs.debian.org/655648>.
In fact, I would need only the library there which is going to be built 
as a shared library. To avoid conflicts with the "libwcs" library from 
wcslib, I intent to rename the library to "libwcstools". The wcstools 
binaries are built as a complementary gift :-)
