Title:
  Add Mollweide projection

Status in Panotools:
  New

Bug description:
  For a project I'm working on it would be very useful to have the
  Mollweide projection
  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollweide_projection) implemented in
  Hugin (panotools). This projection looks quite similar to the hammer-
  aitoff one but parallels do indeed look parallel. In fact
  mathematically is very very similar to the equirectangular one but
  taking into account the real "width" or "length" of the parallels. In
  fact this projection can be achieved from a equirectangular one just
  "contracting" every row of pixels in the image to a size of widthRow *
  sqrt(cos(altitude)).

  One of the advantages of this projection from the hammer-aitoff one is
  that has less "visual distortion" near the equator.

  Would it be possible to implement this projection? Any hints on how
  could I implement this? I've taken a look on the source code of
  panotools, but it is big and I don't find the exact place where to
  look for the equirrectangular projection (in which the code could be
  easily adapted I think).

  Below I attach the same image with Hammer projection and a "hand made
  mollweide" from the equirectangular one.

  Thanks for your attention
