Provide alternate merging step from ISIS noseam #14

Using ISIS for the merging step does not scale to large mosaics. In the cam2map step, we must make each image the full size of the mosaic. This means each image can be tens or hundreds of gigabytes and we quickly run into network and storage limitations for large mosaics. We should implement an alternative like Orfeo Toolbox's otb-mosaic or gdal-merge.py .

Or, possibly submit a PR upstream to ISIS making noseam work on images without matching bounds.
