Thanks for your replies!

As long as ITK_EXPORT is still needed, I would appreciate having the 
comment at its definition say so. It now says, in "itkWin32Header.h":

  // ITK_EXPORT can not be used
  #define ITK_EXPORT

Instead I'd rather have it says something like:

  // When a class definition has ITK_EXPORT, the class will be
  // checked automatically, by Utilities/Dart/PrintSelfCheck.tcl
  #define ITK_EXPORT

But please correct me if I'm wrong!

That would sound like a more elegant solution to me as well.  (But I'm 
not a tcl guru!)

Thank you, Luis!  I just filled out the form! Actually I would be the 
third bug adopter from the LKEB, Leiden University Medical Center, now 
that Jeroen Wijnhout and Marius Staring are already contributing  :-)

Kind regards,
