ITK is a C++ library, not an application. There is no "binary", so it
cannot be released :). I do agree, however, that system-specific
builds of the library should be produced so that users don't have to
build them from source.

Can you elaborate on "files are missing"? Some of the process is defined here:

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Configuring_and_Building#Configuration_with_the_cmake-gui_executable

but even though the page is called "configuring and building", it only
seems to contain information about configuring. Once you configure
and generate a project for your IDE (VS2010 for example), you then
have to open the project using the IDE and actually build the library.

Good luck,

David
