[Insight-users] ITK 4.2+ and VXL 1.17

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Mario,

Thank you for maintaining the packages.

We worked with the VXL community to introduce backwards compatibility
patches so ITK will continue to work with as many versions of VXL as
possible. So,  it would be easiest to apply that patch in your package
instead.

Thanks,
Matt
