Gavin,

Thanks for the information.  I'm glad the upgrade went so smoothly for you.

VNL is part of ITK to provide numerics support for implementing the 
filters internally.  We do not make any attempt to modify the interface 
we inherit from their library (especially because we support building 
with an external vxl as of version 1.6).  The only way to get this 
un-deprecated is to bring it up on the VXL maintainers mailing list:

   vxl-maintainers at lists.sourceforge.net

Excellent.  Thank you again for preparing these.
