It is a lot simpler to use CMake to generate your application project
and it will take care of the header files and include files for you.
In windows remember that there are no default paths for libraries or
headers so most likely at the configure stage you will have to tell
cmake-gui where you built itk. Also a word of caution. Never use the
INSTALL target in windows if you plan on debugging. I mean it will
install either debug or release but you can not safely use debug libs
in your release build or vise versa.
