[ITK] Query about building ITK on Windows 64-bit with Python Wrapping

[Evan Kao]

Hello itk-users,

I'd like to use ITK features in python that don't seem to be implemented in
the latest stable release of SimpleITK, like image registration and
quadmesh filters.  However, looking around the internet, several sources
(like the Wiki <http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/WrapITK_Status>, this thread
<http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/community/2014-November/007888.html>
from about 5 months ago, or this site
<http://www5.cs.fau.de/en/conrad/tutorials/itk-and-vtk-wrapping/wrap-itk/>)
seem to suggest building WrapITK isn't possible on a 64-bit machine due to
conflict between GCCXML and any Visual Studio beyond 2008 (and VS2008
64-bit apparently only comes with the professional edition, which I'm not
even sure is available or worth obtaining).  The Wiki also suggests mingw64
is also not viable.  Is this still the case?   Is there anyway to use ITK
with python on a 64-bit machine?

If I have to resort to the latest nightly binary of SimpleITK for image
registration, does it include all the registration methods available in ITK?

Thanks,
Evan Kao
