Hi Jim,

It seems that the ConfidenceConnectedImageFilter can
be modified to take advantage of multiple seeds.

Now that the FloodFill iterator is using a queue data
structure, using multiple seeds will actually grow
multiple wavefronts simultaneously and will fuse them
together when they get in touch.

- Do you see any mayor downside in doing this modification
   on the filter ?

- Would you mind if I implement this change ?


BTW: It is really nice to use this filter as a Volview
plugin and it is probably the first one to try once images
have been smoothed with edge-preserving filters.
