[IGSTK-Developers] paper for SPIE due Jan 16: outline attached

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Attached are my edits for the SPIE paper.   In the results section I 
only put rough versions of a few additional sentences - my intent at 
that section is to provide some hard numbers to make the paper sound 
more "official" and to quantify some of the level of effort that has 
actually gone into the toolkit.
