With this commit, `imfit' has been included into the project. As described
in the official webpage (http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~erwin/code/imfit/):
Imfit is a program for fitting astronomical images -- especially images
of galaxies, though it can in principle be used for fitting other
sources.
This program uses the `scons' program to build itself (not the traditional
GNU `configure' and `make' system). I have tested it by using an example
that can be found in the `examples' directory of the decompressed
tarball. It works fine without any error on my Mac OS system.

With this commit, SCons has been included into the project. As in the
official webpage of this program says:
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a
next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved,
cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated
functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as
ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to
build software.
The motivation for including this software into the project is because
there are some software that use this system for the installation. In
particular, the necessity of installing it comes from Imfit. This is an
astronomical software that uses this system so that is why it has been
included into the project. In principle it is simple, and I have tested
it on Mac OS sytem without any problem.

Until now, to specify which high-level software you want the project to
contain, it was necessary to go into the `high-level.mk' Makefile that is
complicated and can create bugs.
With this commit, a new `reproduce/software/config/installation/TARGETS.mk'
file has been created that is easily/cleanly in charge of documenting the
final high-level software that must be built for the project.
Also, until now, FFTW was set as a dependency of Numpy while we couldn't
actually get Numpy to use it! It was just there for future reference and to
justify its build rule. But now that many software won't be built and there
is no problem with having rules even though a project might not use them,
it has been removed.
