[Insight-users] MetaImage format and data offset (proposal?)

[Stephen R. Aylward]

These are great ideas!

We are almost ready to check in a new version of MetaImage, but I hadn't 
planned on including those options.   If you want to add them to the 
current version, I will make sure your changes propagate to the new version.

As far as documentation goes....I'll send you something rough in a 
separate email.
