[MINC-users] minccomplete's completeness

[Vladimir S. FONOV]

That is going to be one more of the "special features" of minc2 format.

Technically, the attribute location should be /minc-2.0/image/<n>/image

where <n> is the currently selected resolution level (MINC2 supports 
storing images at multiple resolution).

 From the point of view of minccomplete it uses image:complete attribute 
in minc2 file only, which was automagically mapped to that name by MINC1 
API .

For the actual API call,
miset_attr_values is not going to work, because currently it can't find 
the location of this attribute.
To make it work, one could modify these lines:
https://github.com/BIC-MNI/libminc/blob/develop/libsrc2/grpattr.c#L918
https://github.com/BIC-MNI/libminc/blob/develop/libsrc2/grpattr.c#L502
https://github.com/BIC-MNI/libminc/blob/develop/libsrc2/grpattr.c#L600

and
https://github.com/BIC-MNI/libminc/blob/develop/libsrc2/grpattr.c#L783

and add one more special case on where to look for this attribute.

miset_attribute - is supposed to be a private internal function , not 
visible to the API users.
