% imStats(IM1,IM2)
%
% Report image (matrix) statistics.
% When called on a single image IM1, report min, max, mean, stdev, skew,
% and kurtosis (4th moment about the mean, divided by squared variance)
%
% When called on two images (IM1 and IM2), report min, max, mean, 
% stdev of the difference, and also SNR (relative to IM1).
