Configure is no longer used to build ITK on unix.  Instead, cmake is used
directly.  After doing a "cvs update -d", use the configure provided with
CMake to build cmake itself.  Then, from the binary directory for Insight,
do "cmake ../Insight" and then type "make" to build everything.

Building cmake separately might seem like an extra step, but once it
stablizes, it can be built and installed with "make install", and then
used for any project that uses cmake without being rebuilt for that
project.
