DJ,

Agreed that the distribution has gotten bloated.  In future releases I'd
like to change it to not include most of the data and to have recon-all
or other utilities print a 'wget' command to use to download the data
when needed.

I've updated the ReleaseNotes section with a list of some directories of
stuff that is not used in the default stream.  So deletion depends on
whether you or your local user-base will ever need these, which can be
tough to predict:

  * freesurfer/average/mult-comp-cor - Correction for Multiple
    Comparisons pre-calc - 1.3G
  * freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage? - fsaverage at other iso-levels -
    310M 
  * freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage_sym - symmetric fsaverage for
    contra-lateral surface mapping - 197M 
  * freesurfer/subjects/cvs_avg* - CVS Combined Volume and Surface
    registration target - 531M 
  * freesurfer/trctrain - Tracula training set - 886M

These files in total are about 3GB.
