/* Merge two images left-right. dx, dy is the offset needed to get from sec 
 * (secondary image) to ref (reference image). 
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   int 
 *   im_lrmerge( ref, sec, out, dx, dy )
 *   IMAGE *ref, *sec, *out;
 *   int dx, dy;
 *   
 * Returns 0 on success and -1 on error

 * Author: N. Dessipris
 * Written on: 20/09/1990
 * Updated on: 17/04/1991
 * 1/6/92: JC
 * 	- check for difference bug fixed
 *	- geometry calculations improved and simplified
 *	- small speedups
 Kirk Martinez for Sys5 29/4/93
 * 7/8/93 JC
 *	- ANSIfied
 *	- memory leaks fixed, ready for partial v2
 *	- now does IM_CODING_LABQ too
 * 8/11/93 JC
 *	- now propogates both input histories
 *	- adds magic lines for global mosaic optimisation
 *
 *
 *
 May/1994 Ahmed Abbood
 *
 *	- Modified to use partials on all IO
 *
 June/1995 Ahmed Abbood
 *
 *	- Modified to work with different types of images.
 *
 * 16/6/95 JC
 *	- tidied up a little
 *	- added to VIPS!
 * 7/9/95 JC
 *	- split into two parts: im_lrmerge() and im__lrmerge()
 *	- latter called by im_lrmosaic()
 *	- just the same as public im_lrmerge(), but adds no history
 *	- necessary for im_global_balance()
 *	- small bugs fixed
 * 10/10/95 JC
 *	- better checks that parameters are sensible
 * 11/10/95 JC
 *	- Kirk spotted what a load of rubbish Ahmed's code is
 *	- rewritten - many, many bugs fixed
 * 24/1/97 JC
 *	- now outputs bounding area of input images, rather than clipping
 *	- ignores 0 pixels in blend
 *	- small tidies
 * 7/2/97 JC
 *	- new blend, caching
 * 25/2/97 JC
 *	- old blend back, much simpler
 *	- speed this up at some point if you think of an easy way to do it
 * 29/7/97 JC
 *	- IM_CODING_LABQ blend now works, was bug in im_wrapone()
 *	- small tidies
 * 10/1/98 JC
 *	- merge LUTs now shared between all running mergers
 *	- frees memory explicitly in im__stop_merge, for much better memory
 *	  use in large mosaics, huge improvement!
 * 18/2/98 JC
 *	- im_demand_hint() call added
 * 19/2/98 JC
 *	- now works for any dx/dy by calling im_insert() for bizarre cases
 * 26/9/99 JC
 *	- ooops, blend lut was wrong! wonder how long that's been broken,
 *	  since feb97 I guess
 * 2/2/01 JC
 *	- added tunable max blend width
 * 8/3/01 JC
 *	- switched to integer arithmetic for integer blends
 * 7/11/01 JC
 *	- more sophisticated transparency handling
 *	- tiny blend speed up
 * 19/3/02 JC
 * 	- move fl cache to main state for better sharing
 * 15/8/02 JC
 *	- records Xoffset/Yoffset
 * 20/6/05
 *	- now requires all bands == 0 for transparency (used to just check
 *	  band 0)
