OK, done, have at it! :-) Here is why I won't spend any time on this issue: 1. The ITK wrappers need attention: they currently don't build. 2. ITK 4.0 is already out and needs attention. 3. Libraries embedded in ITK that do *not* offer a ITK_USE_SYSTEM_foo build time option are, at the very least, untested with other versions. They may be heavily patched and the risk of breaking ITK outweighs any purported benefit, IMHO. I cannot believe that a library embedded in ITK is ever going to be a security problem. If you are really concerned about embedded library copies, I'd encourage you to work on the issue in the context of ITK 4. Regards, -Steve
