[IGSTK-Developers] View class refactoring

[Andinet Enquobahrie]

Torleif-

To give you more insight...

I just added two more tests (regression tests) to the sandbox that 
demonstrate the use of the widgets with the rest of the IGSTK
classes.

1) igstkCTImageSpatialObjectReadingAndRepresentationTest2.cxx

This test demonstrates how to use the FLTKWidget with the image spatial 
object, representation and
the new view class (ViewNew)

2) igstkCTImageSpatialObjectReadinAndRepresentationTest3.cxx

This class demonstrates how to use the QTWidget with the IGSTK 
components listed above in (1).

Thanks
