[Insight-users] Efficiently comparing segmentation results

Nick pointed me to that yesterday. I took a look, but it still doesn't 
provide the
efficiency that I was hoping for. I am hoping that the LabelMap stuff 
will be able
to help, and I am revisiting that, otherwise I guess I will have to 
write my own
function to do it.
