I notice that Doug George is starting to talk about MaxIm Version 5.  
This might be a good time for the photometry community to get their 
licks in for improvements.

I for one would like to see  more detailed photometry reports (giving  
the ADU numbers behind the mags) or at maybe a secondary report giving 
the details.  Maybe the way Astrometrica uses it's Report File and Log File.

Kind of a bigger item, but I would also like to see more of the 
photometric functions exposed so they could be reached by scripts. 

As long as I'm dreaming how about an option to follow the stars based on 
RA and Dec rather than x and y coordinates when doing a TS?

Anyway if we could get our act together and make a concerted effort, 
maybe we could get some improvements.
