Public bug reported:

When the user knows the focal lengh and horizontal field of view (v),
Hugin should either compute the crop factor or, if it is not otherwise
needed, simply ignore it.

Consider cylindrical panorama camera images, which have an arbitrary
hfov unrelated to the lens and focal length, and for which 'crop factor'
is usually not a meaningful piece of information.  At present,
attempting to import such images is frustrating because when you enter
the hfov hugin resets the focal length (based on irrelevant default crop
factor of 1.0) and vice versa.  Instead, the crop factor should be
computed automatically (if it is needed at all).
