Write C versions of remove-lines and uniformize to reduce python dependencies #135

These both depend on having a python FITS reader (pyfits / fitsio / astropy), so cause problems in, eg, Homebrew.

Hi why do not use for a C/C++ version the cfitsio library?

dstndstn commented 5 years ago

We already have the qfits library for C code.

Sorry about that. I do not know python and I have some trouble to understand how to solve a stars field. I'm not able to find an example.
