[Incubator] OSSIM Incubation - header file modifications

[Mark Lucas]

Cameron,
Good point, added the following:

It is important to note that future contributors may cause a change in  
this approach. Participants from other geographic areas will be  
accomodated and may cause a shift to online meetings or shifts to  
other geographical locations. Furthermore, it is hoped that as the  
OSSIM community grows we will be able to support annual get togethers.

I'll report back once the header modifications have been accomplished.
