Save cropped fits to file?

See original GitHub issue

Say I have the following code:

from astropy.io import fits
from photutils.utils import cutout_footprint

hdulist = fits.open('myimage.fits')
hdu_data = hdulist[0].data

# Some center and box
xc, yc, xbox, ybox = 1000., 1000., 500., 700.
hdu_crop = cutout_footprint(hdu_data, (xc, yc), (ybox, xbox))[0]

How can I save the cropped image to a new fits file and conserve the header information?
