[Insight-developers] WrapITK must found ImageCompare to run the tests

[Gaetan Lehmann]

Hi,

To implement WrapITK's tests, I have used ImageCompare, which is not by  
default in ITK.
There is several possible ways to go:
  (1) add ImageCompare to ITK
  (2) implement the image comparaison in the test drivers
  (3) implement a test driver in c++ usable for all the languages, and able  
to compare the images

(1) is the simplest one, and would be much give ImageCompare by default to  
the user, so it would be easier to begin to prepare a contribution to the  
insight journal
(2) will duplicate the image comparaison task - not so good
(3) should be mainly an adaptation of the ITK test driver to set the  
environment needed to run the tests with the target languages. Also, I  
think that this test driver would be better for the insight journal than  
ImageCompare: we can run the test and validate its results in a single  
test; it is not possible with ImageCompare. Finally, it should be easy  
with this one to fix the lib path problem with java

My preference goes to (3) - please let me know what you think about that

Thanks,

Gaetan
