[vtkusers] vtkImageBlockReader/Writer

[Charles Law]

Sarah,

I do not know why you want to use vtkImageBlockReader/Writer.  You may be 
able to use vtkImageReader/Writer instead.  vtkImageBlockReader is a class 
that broke a volume into blocks (instead of just slices) and save each 
block into separate files.  The intent was to get better performance when 
multiple processes were trying to read the same volume.

I do not know what its current status is.  It sounds like you just need to 
add it to the Makefile.in.  If the classes do not prove useful by the next 
release, I will remove them.

Charles.
