[MINC-users] Building bicpl-1.6.4 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Andrew Wood]

Hi Andrew,

I'd grabbed bicpl-1.6.4 from http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/. I've
switched over to the CMake system where possible, but the bicpl releases
all predate Vlad's CMake build system, so are we not stuck with libtool for
this?

I could grab a release from Github, but I'd just be rerunning the
autotools, no?

Thanks,
Andrew
