+Calculate the spectral weights for instrument map creation, from which
+the spectral-weighted exposure map will be created.
+
+NOTE/CAVEAT
+-----------
+To compute an image which gives the integrated flux over the full energy
+range, it may be best to first compute flux-corrected images in several
+narrow energy bands (where the ARF is nearly flat) and then sum those
+fluxed images together. Weighted exposure maps work well for an energy
+band where the ARF variation isn't very large, but for a full-band
+0.5-10 keV image, it may not be a good idea to compute the flux by
+dividing the counts image by a single number. This is especially true
+for cases where the source spectrum varies significantly within the image;
+in that case, there is no general way to compute a single set of weights
+which will be sensible for every part of the image.
