Title: Freesurfer mri_tessellate interface, whole-brain tessellation workflow

This pull request adds a wrapper for Freesurfer's 'mri_tessellate' function, and demonstrates how to use it to tessellate each of the regions from a subject's aseg.mgz file.

Using gmsh (http://geuz.org/gmsh/ or sudo apt-get install gmsh), we can visualize the meshes:

Pial (green) and white matter (orange) surfaces
