Or perhaps mincsample in /s/s/minc_dev/mincsample  This new minc tool has been 
written to do these sorts of things.  I just haven't added the bit to extract 
co-ordinate values along with the voxel data.

This may be better than breaking the existing functionality of minctotag.

I suspect something like this would do the trick:

    mincsample -ascii -coords -mask point-mask.mnc stats_file.mnc

(note -coords doesn't exist as an option yet, but would be very easy to add)
