1) its in the same file.  ElementDataFile is "LOCAL"

2) its in a list of files. ElementDataFile is "LIST", and what follows
in the header is a list of files, one filename per line.  By default,
there is one slice per sample on the slowest axis, but you can do
otherwise with, for example, "LIST 3", which means that there will be
a 3D slab per file.

3) slices in numbered files. ElementDataFile is, for example,
"file%03d.blah <min> <max> <step>", where the first part is a
printf-style string containing a format sequence for an integer value,
and <min>, <max>, and <step> are integer values that specify the min,
max, and increment value for naming the numbered slices.  Note that if
you use something like "file%d.blah", you automatically get the
correct ordering between "file2.blah" and "file10.blah".

I plan on shamelessly copying this, just like I shamelessly copied the
"byte skip: -1" feature from MetaIO.  The minor differences are:

- the datafile is "LOCAL" by default, as in, no "data file: " field is
  given in the NRRD.  This is the current behavior for attached
  headers.

- When using the pattern for numbered files, the final <step> value
  will be optional, and by default 1.

- This will work for multiple compressed files.
