New PROS Tasks
* EVALVG (xproto) -> Computes the earth_satellite_target angle (EST) and the sun_earth_satellite (SES) angle and produces an output table with the time history of these two angles.
* QPSIM (xspatial) -> Generates a simulated event-list from sources of given intensity, shape, and position for a ROSAT HRI field.
* SRCINTEN (xspatial) -> Calculates the count rate from a given source region for a ROSAT HRI source. It incorporates an accurate ROSAT HRI PRF off-axis.
PROS Task Enhancements
FITS2QP (xdataio) ->
* Now handles TSCAL/TZERO extension keywords in FITS files by applying the scales/offsets to the appropriate columns, promoting types as necessary.
* Allows the user to specify which columns in the event definition should be considered `x' and `y' in the QPOE file.
RARC2PROS (xdataio) -> Adds new light curve tables for PSPC.
