Totally agreed.

Ahh, now I see the difference (previous discussion about needing
separate depug/release build trees for ITK). I have a single build
tree under windows for debug/relwithdebinfo and this works great. I do
not install ITK, I just set ITK_DIR in cmake-gui to the location of
the built tree and cmake correctly links the debug libs with debug
application builds and it also links relwithdebinfo libs with
relwithdebinfo application builds.
