Well, the button in Blender says "Correct Nor Map" so I'm pretty close. 
;) Maybe it should be correctNorMap.

Unfortunately, 'Col', 'Nor', and 'Var' are the names of both the factor 
slider buttons (which I named colFac, etc.) and the 'map to' buttons 
(which I named mtCol, etc.) In addition, my patch uses mtex.col for the 
color in the center of the UI 'Map To' panel.
