<h3>Objective</h3>
Create a pluggable structure for managing MRML<-->VTK Rendering and Widget interactions in the context of Slicer4.  This include mapping MRML annotation nodes to and from vtkWidgets, mapping vtkMRMLModelNode and hierarchies to vtkActors/vtkMappers.

Others:
* Fidicials (all annotations)
* ROIs
* VolumeRendering
* Module-specific rendering (should be possible for loadable module to register a class that maps MRML nodes to-from elements in the vtkRenderWindow

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
Create a vtkSlicerManagerFactory and vtkSlicerAbstractManager.  The vtkSlicerAbstractManager is parameterized by a vtkRenderWindow and is subclassed for each purpose.  The vtkSlicerManagerFactory holds a registry of manager types so that when a new 3D Viewer is create, a set of managers is associated with the viewer.

Loadable modules should be able to access to ManagerFactory and register custom manager types to handle their custom nodes.
