[Insight-developers] OpenJPEG 2000

[Williams, Norman K]

I could have a look at it next week if you don't want to take it on,
Bradley.  If you do, look at the procedures in both VNL and
DoubleConversion.  It's one of those git tricks that takes a bit to get
your head around, but in the end, it provides a structured path for
importing foreign libraries, that preserves the change history better than
just copying new source in over the old.
