[ITK Community] Integrating ITK into our own SDK

[Michael Jackson]

Hello ITK Community, 
   In my current project (dream3d.bluequartz.net) we would like to be able to incorporate ITK as our image processing library of choice. To that end we usually provide precompiled binaries of all our dependent libraries (HDF5, Qt, Qwt, Eigen, TBB, Boost) for our Windows users so that they do not have to compile all the dependencies themselves**. For every library there are Debug and Release versions of the libraries where each library has some nomenclature in the name of the library file that denotes Debug or Release.
  In compiling ITK there does not seem to be any type of differentiation in the naming so when I do a Debug build and install then do a Release build and install the second install simply over writes the first install. Even for normal development it seems like I have to go back and compile the Debug and "install" that when I am debugging my own code but when I want to try my code in release I have to go back and Compile/Install the Release version of ITK, then compile/install my own project. Clearly I am missing something about how to do this sort of thing with ITK so I have some questions about how to proceed.

1: Has anyone else tried to include a prebuilt ITK into their own "SDK" and how did you go about doing that?
2: How do I ensure that when I compile a Debug build I am getting a Debug version of ITK?
3: How can I have an installation of BOTH a Debug build of ITK and a Release build of ITK?



**: On windows it is very easy to hose yourself by mix-n-matching other peoples Precompiled Binaries so that you end up with multiple versions of the C/C++ runtime libraries on windows which causes all sorts of Headaches. This is why we precompile ALL of our dependent libraries so we ensure we do not run into this problem, at least on Windows. 

Thanks for any help/thoughts/ideas/recommendations
