I split openImage into two functions: 'openImage' that behaves identically to the old version and 'translate2MEF' that like 'openImage' translates GEIS and WAIVERED image data file to MEF FITS format. Unlike 'openImage', 'translate2MEF' does not return a pyfits handle to an open newly created MEF FITS. Instead it return a tuple of containing MEF image file name, DQ MEF file name (if exists), and input file type. See ticket #1101 for more information.
