[Insight-developers] Re: Integrating WrapITK into ITK CVS

[Gaëtan Lehmann]

Hi Luis,

I also thought to the possible changes to cableswig:
  - Change of API in the cmake part
The usage of cableswig is fully hidden in WrapITK and in its external  
projects: everything is generated by cmake. They were some exceptions (for  
vcl_complex for example), but even those more difficult cases are now  
generated with cmake.
  - Change of API in the target language
All the changes we can plan in cableswig will not change the api of ITK in  
the target languages - the names of the instantiations are now good  
enough, and all the other names are the names defined in ITK. With the  
changes in cableswig, we'll "only" add new features and better integration  
with the target languages.

So I think we should upload WrapITK into ITK now, keep cableswig as it is  
for the upcoming release (3.0), but still continue to work on cableswig  
for the next release (3.2).

Regards,

Gaetan
