Title: #103 - abbreviated config, final multi-object demo

This pull request has some additions to the multi-object formalism that was merged into master about 2 weeks ago. They include:

1) an abbreviated config syntax, which is simpler for users in some cases (see a demonstration in examples/MultiObjectDemo.py script 2).

2) a third script in examples/MultiObjectDemo.py which simulates 100 images based on realistic galaxies. This means that MultiObjectDemo.py now has 3 options, each of which demonstrates a different aspect of what we've achieved in the 2nd milestone. You can use that script to generate a FITS data cube with the 100 galaxy images, convolved with a double Gaussian PSF that represents fairly good conditions for a ground-based telescope.
