[MINC-users] permuting dimension

[Andrew Janke]

Two methods...

1. (what you suggest, minctoraw and then back in).

2. Evil tricks with mincedit using the editor argument in which you
specify the editor as sed or the likes.

ie:

   mincedit foo.mnc "sed -e 's/xspace/yspace/'"

Note that I haven't checked the above!  And of course you will need to
use an intermediate step to swap dimensions.
