This one is brand new code, based on MINC 1.x, and it cannot read MINC 
2.x files.

It actually uses the netcdf libraries directly rather than using the 
minc libraries.  I didn't really have any desire to convert the minc 
library to CMake, or to try to convince Kitware to incorporate the minc 
library into Utilities.

Since VTK already includes netcdf, it seemed much easier to write a 
reader that uses netcdf directly.
