FYI, trying to build ITK with CMake 1.6 beta2, Borland (bcc32), Windows 2000,
MinSizeRel:

Win32_Error(CreateProcess, c:/Builder/Sources/Insight/Code/Numerics/vxl/configure)
Problem starting command
Win32_Error(CreateProcess, c:/Builder/Sources/Insight/Code/Numerics/vxl/vcl/configure)
Problem starting command
-- Configuring done
CMake Error: Error: An attempt was made to access a variable: CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN
that has not been defined.  some variables were always defined by CMake in versions
prior to 1.6. To fix this you might need to set the cache value of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_
COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 or less.  If you are writing a CMakeList file, (or have already
set CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 or less) then you probably need to include
a CMake module to test for the feature this variable defines.

this was similar to what occured with CMake 1.6 beta1 (see earlier post) except 
now make does nothing: no makefiles generated!
