[Bryan Butler]

effectively, after deconvolution, we *do* divide by the PB, in order to
estimate *true* source flux density.  this is only in the case of single
field imaging.  in AIPSese, this is effected by running PBCOR.  you can
consider this as either lowering the effective signal, or increasing the
effective noise.  they are equivalent in their effect on SNR of course...
