[Insight-users] Build itk DLL

Hi Lixu,

ITK is not currently supporting DLL's on Windows.
That may be supported on the future though.

In any case, given that ITK is mostly designed using
Templates, the libraries that are being created now
represent only a small kernel of the whole toolkit.
Having them in Dll's will not make a big difference.

You will notice that all the Filters and all the Algorithms
are templated classes.  ITK classes will only be instantiated
when you compile programs where ITK classes are used.
It is just like STL.

The use of templates in ITK is intended to improve
performance at run time and increase code reuse.
