[Insight-developers] PROPOSAL: Change default build type to "Release"

[Julien Jomier]

When building with MSVC you pretty much need to build your app with the 
same mode as the one used when building ITK so it would have some impact 
for applications built on top of ITK.

That said, RelWithDebInfo is not standard when building an MSVC project 
without CMake so that could also be problematic for people having their 
own project configured without CMake.
