1. NextGenCode

a grab-bag of notes on what we'd like to see in the ideal freesurfer source code environment, and runtime

newer respository, eg git
- source only checkout which excludes all distribution data. For faster and thinner local builds.
cmake replacing autotools as the build enviro
one-stop-shopping build of all 3rd party packages --> like neurodebian
continued source code cleanup:
- remove all #if 0 code and duplicated stuff
source code documentation
more low-level unit tests
memory structures changed to allow easier cpu (and gpu) parallelization (see rge notes)
complete replacement of recon-all with ????
evaluate necessity of 3rd-party packages, eg PetSc
eliminate clutter in $FREESURFER_HOME ( for the installation ).
- for instance, the distribution data after installation should be in $FREESURFER_HOME/data. GEMS, the newest FS package, already uses this. It's data is in $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS
