FreeSurfer Numerical Recipies Replacement

Our objective is to replace algorithms using proprietary numerical recipes in FreeSurfer in efforts to open source FreeSurfer.

Status: Completed.

Write test cases for each algorithm (Snyder, Jen): done
Identify replacements (Snyder, Jen): done
Integrate required libraries into FreeSurfer build process (Snyder, Jen): done
Iteratively replace recipes with substitutes and run tests (Snyder, Jen): done
