[Insight-developers] Compare text (vtk) files

[Dan Mueller]

Fair enough.

I see Testing/Review/itkVTKPolyDataWriterTest01 just writes a vtk file
without validating the output either. I guess this is better than
nothing, though the test could be writing complete garbage and still
pass...

Thanks. Dan.
