[Insight-developers] Speak now or forever hold your peace w.r.t. itk::TransformFileReader/Writer

[kent williams]

Haha more like 'Googling experience.'  If  you google 'Matlab Mat File
Format' the first result is a PDF file from Mathworks called 'MAT-file
format' -- the Level 4 file format is described after the Level 5 format,
and it's no longer really supported.

There's an open source library that handles Matlab Level 5 files, but it's
GPL.  We could support that in ITK, but it's annoying.
