Luis,
When you CC people (Julien, Zack) I assume it's for a good reason - should I
reply-all to them or just reply to the list?
I found that the modified BSP tree produced a MASSIVE speed up (50x +) so it
would seem silly to go back to using one of the other data structures. I
guess there's nothing else we can do then? I suppose having the IJ build
environment use CVS versions is out of the question? I guess it depends on
the mission statement of the IJ build platform - if it is mainly for ITK
then I guess having only the VTK release version makes sense. If it is
trying to be a catch all for Kitware product code it doesn't seem too
unreasonable to support the latest cvs versions of all the toolkits.
Let me know what you all think.
Thanks,
David
