[Insight-developers] Q about adding new filter.

[Nick Tustison]

This scenario has a precedent even to the detail of being one
of Torsten's filters.   Torsten wrote a multi-label STAPLE filter 
that I wanted to include in ITK.  I pulled it directly from his website, 
told Torsten of my intentions, made a few stylistic changes for 
ITK coding standards, wrote a test, and then submitted as a simple
gerrit patch.  it was merged within a couple days.
