The release date for FreeSurfer 6 has been hard to nail down but we are
in the final stages. I hesitate to give a solid date but I would say a
month is a fair estimate.

I would only expect you to encounter errors if you were calling scripts
which call freesurfer binaries (e.g. recon-all). If your just calling
the binaries themselves then those should run successfully.

We plan on getting around it using two methods. 1) creating wrapper
scripts for some binaries. 2) Adding a source file in existing scripts
to recreate the library path that were stripped by SIP.
