[Insight-developers] New IO code

[Bill Hoffman]

Actually, this is not quite true.   I have built in the PNG reader into the system
and not used the object factory.  However, I have tested it with the object factory,
and it works fine.   It is just easier to distribute and use when it is built in.

The object factory mechanism is fully integrated into ITK, so that if you place run-time loadable object code in the right spot; a program can be run-time extended to read a new file format. (The PNG reader demonstrates this.) A RawImageIO version will also be checked in once things stabilize. We will work with the UNC folks to make sure their MetaImage reader is working as well.
