Task: hermes

First calculates a Hermographic brightness temperature map,
then uses interpolation and coordinate rotations to find
the corresponding map in geocentric RA and DEC offsets from
the sub-earth point.  Next, the Fresnel reflection coef-
ficients are applied to obtain the model map.  Finally, a
set of CLEAN components are generated for use in the RAL
software package.  This is the non-linear diffusion version.
