[MINC-users] RMINC v0.4

[Alex Zijdenbos]

Hi Jason,

There appear to be a few glitches with the configure/build process of
this version revolving around libz - I belief Claude will get in touch
with you to fix these.

As for the repository, some folks at the BIC (somehow including me)
have started to use Google Code for projects. I can't judge the
relative merits of this vs launchpad at the moment, but perhaps others
have thoughts? Using one of these types of services makes sense to me,
but if that is where we want to go it would also be nice to
standardize on one.
