[Insight-developers] In consistent Function return value for GetNumberOfComponents

[Hans Johnson]

Hello All,

It seems that the function GetNumberOfComponents is inconsistently defined.
I each case that I have looked at, it appears that this function should
return an unsigned int.

I would be happy to make these consistent if I get approval.

Thanks,
Hans
