[Insight-developers] Sample Insight project that builds outside of the Insight source tree

[William A. Hoffman]

The sample project works fine in a unix environment with no changes.
Here is how to use it:

1. build cmake
2. cd Insight/Examples/SampleProject
// Run the cmake command in the SampleProject directory with "." as an 
argument.
// Could also do an out of source build with the cmake command.
    /full/path/to/cmake/cmake  .
3. Edit CMakeCache.txt and set the Insight binary directory, it will be 
NOTFOUND
4. type make
