[vtk-developers] Visual Studio 8 "insecure method" warnings

[Andrew J. Dolgert]

The "Safer CRT" modifications aren't ANSI and aren't yet accepted into
future ANSI, the C99 standard. They are in an ISO proposal draft
technical report from September 2005 which hopes to place them in the
C99 standard. The draft is at
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1135.pdf
That makes the compiler's flagging of ANSI library functions as
deprecated a bit of a strong-arm practice. You can feel good about
turning off this warning.
