Hi Marcus,

If I understand this correctly would this also mean that VTK could start including
Takuya OSHIMA's reworked OpenFOAM reader instead of the original (by Terry Jordan),
which is currently broken and apparently orphaned?

AFAIK the only issue that spoke against Takuya's version was that he has some Qt code
that previously made part of the reader GPL instead of BSD only. Presumably this point
is moot with the switch to Qt 4.5.
