Forgive me for following up my own message, but I saw that I misread Brad's
question and was in touch with him directly. We concluded that it's really a
sort of registration problem he has, with a lot more flexibility in the
transform model than usually seen in mis-registration. Anyone with a better
idea than turning it into a big optimization problem?

Cheers,

I haven't used it before, but from the online help, I think WARP_TRI may be
just what you're looking for.
