Aha!  Many thanks for that tip!  However, would not it be more
efficient if this were done in one pass?  I notice that the CVS
version of vtkExtractGeometry has an ExtractOnlyBoundaryCells option
that does this in one shot.  So this is already done.  Terrific!

Sorry about the noise.

cheers,

p.s.  Thierry did not CC the list but I'm CCing the list to let you
know that I will not touch vtkExtractGeometry.
