Ivan,

I have added SetStatistics() and GetStatistics() to the NG bindings.
I haven't added ComputeStatistics() since I don't know what to do with
the progress function, and without the progress function ComputeStatistics()
isn't much different than GetStatistics() with bForce=TRUE.

Well, the SetStatistics() call was already defined, and I'm loath to change
it.  So currently there is no mechanism to set partial statistics.
