Quick feedback on fslio: The reason why that library is no longer built
from the nifticlib package is that upstream explicitly stated that is is
outdated, partially broken and should not be used (it was more of a demo).
The fslio that FSL builds against, in contrast, is maintained and more
advanced. However, it is treated as an integral part of FSL, changes
frequently and cannot become its own library package.

Sadly,

Michael
