[vtkusers] vtkMarchingSquares outputs many 2-point lines

VTK Congnoscenti,
I am using vtkPolyDataWriter to output to a
file the results of vtkMarchingSquares on an image.
It works OK, but it seems that MarchingSquares
generates a whole bunch of 2-point lines instead of
a single multi-point line for a given contour. E.g.,
# vtk DataFile Version 3.0
vtk output
ASCII
DATASET POLYDATA
POINTS 3 float
...
LINES 2 6
2 0 1
2 1 2
instead of
# vtk DataFile Version 3.0
vtk output
ASCII
DATASET POLYDATA
POINTS 3 float
...
LINES 1 4
3 0 1 2
is there any way to get MarchingSquares to figure out
(via connectivity) that each of the 2-point lines is
part of a single multi-part line? Or is there a filter
that will do this?
I can write my own code to do it, but I don't want to
reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
Thanks,
-Jeremy
