I've started on adding Review/Statistics.  Then I learned that elastix
requires other pieces of Review, so I ended up adding all of Review.

I took your suggestion and am now building with USE_WRAP_ITK=ON.

Yeah, I see what you mean.  My initial trial just sets
"USE_WRAP_ITK=ON" and the default set of wrappings which includes 2
