What about fisheye input and output?
Fisheye (180°) input is almost the same as already implemented as 
dfisheye, and if the second hemisphere doesn't exist it can be replaced 
by a color.
Fisheye input and output is important. For example I've made a long-time 
timelapse from many fisheye images, but some of the images require a few 
degrees tilting. That means the fisheye image must be converted to 
equirectangular, tilted, and then converted back to fisheye.

The equirectangular output image should have width/height=2 by default.

Question:
If the input format is stereographic and the output format is 
equirectangular, what's then the meaning of the h_fov and v_fov parameters?
Do they define the field of view of the stereographic input (that would 
make sense),
or do they define the field of view of the equirectangular output (that 
makes no sense, because equirectangular should always be 360° x 180°).
