[ITK] ITK: "BUILD_SHARED_LIBS" set?

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

The ITKConfig.cmake file is generated by the ITK build and utilized by projects which use ITK ( by CMake's find_package and include( ${ITK_USE_FILE}) ). So the files comments are in the past tense because when it's used ITK has already been built.

HTH,
Brad
