[Nipy-devel] ITK question

I've been casting about writing some scripts to automate some of the 
jobs that people do in our lab using ITK and it occurred to me to check 
in re. the latest thinking on the relationship between ITK and NiPy. I 
certainly understand the concerns about saddling potential users with 
such a monstrosity but on the other hand you get an awful lot (and maybe 
even a useful framework for "easily" adding new segmentation, 
registration,... tools). I was impressed with the Mayavi demos at SciPy 
08 and recall that last year Prahbu and Gael were expressing similar 
concerns about VTK (i.e. saddling their users with the monstrosity of 
VTK) but seem pretty unconcerned about that now. So I was wondering if 
their experience had any effect on thinking about NiPy/ITK.
