Yeap, that's a great point.

We have managed to share other libraries between ITK and VTK.

In particular:

    * kwsys
    * MetaImage


It requires some CVS black magic, and coordination among the
projects. In involves some pains, but for the most part it
seems to bring benefits.


Karthink is also looking at sharing OpenJpeg among ITK, GDCM
and MetaImage, which may also be an interesting thing to do.
