   * main/MStarguider.[cc,h]
     - Start commissioning of a star guider for MAGIC.
     - Display misspointing with an MGStarg object
     - Rename the two video channels to "Starfield Camera" and "TPoint Camera"
     - Swapped IDs of video channels, since a reset (errno=5) of video card 
       changes to channel #0
     - Rearranged menu structure, added starguider relevant items: Starguider
       LED finder, Starguider FindStar (FindStar analysis of star on curtain
       for crosschecks and calibration), Starguider Analysis (write relevant 
       data to ROOT trees), Starguider (Starguider analysis of starfield 
       picture)
     - Rearranged GUI displays, added displays to show misspointing,
       misspointing from FindStar algorithm, sky brightness
     - Acquisition of center of the PMT camera from applying Caos algorithm 
       to the three LEDs visible in the starfield camera
     - Acquisition of sky brightness (average CCD pixel content in Starfield)
       and comparison to last sky brightness
     - MStarguider::TrackingError(): Modified histogram binning to enhance 
       excess
     - MStarguider::FindStar(): Now returns position of found star as ZdAz
     - MStarguider::FindStar(): Cut and ROI box can now handed over as i
       parameters
     - MStarguider::FindStar(): Scale factor to compensate for different FOV
       (TPoint camera vs. Starfield camera)
     - MStarguider::ProcessFrame(): Modified structure to accomodate Starguider
       algorithm and tools: 1) Find Center of PMT camera, find Star (if 
       activated)
       to obtain misspointing found from PMT camera.
     - Set ROI for starfield in space not occupied by the PMT camera in the 
       starfield camera FOV
     - Calculate star positions and draw stars only in that ROI
     - fStatus variable contains status of starguider (Error, Monitoring, 
       Standby)
     - Draw representation of MAGIC's FOV on starfield
     - Send STARG-REPORTS unconditionally by using MDriveCom::SendStargReport
