[Insight-users] CableSwig -CIndex question

[Zachary Pincus]

Thanks -- this (below) is what I had assumed, but I wanted to make  
sure I hadn't missed anything obvious.

Having a "second tier" set of loader files to satisfy these  
dependencies isn't a big problem, and has worked fine. (Especially  
now that I've made it so that they are automatically generated from  
CMake, at least for Python.)
