No concern - I'm fine with that

However, I think nobody is satisfied about how WrapITK is getting  
integrated in ITK, so if you agree, I'd like to plan a real effort to make  
it work on as much plateforms as possible. It is clearly something I can't  
do alone, for a very simple reason: I don't have all the configurations  
required, and I'm not familiar with the more problematic compilers.
I think this task would require less work than communication effort to  
avoid breaking one thing while trying to fix another thing.

Who can be really implied in this task ? This mean try to build, try to  
fix, discuss the possible solutions, and share the work if it is too long  
(I fear it will be the case to fix the long names with java). It shouldn't  
be a full time job, as WrapITK is quite long to build, but I think it's  
important to have an as good reactivity as possible.

What do you think of trying to do that on Novenber 6 and in the following  
days ?

Thanks,

Gaetan


PS: can you give me a link to the segfaulting build, with python in  
windows ?
