[CMake] Problems with CMake on 64-bit Vista

[Barry Hathaway]

I'm having a couple of problems using CMake on a 64-bit Vista system.
The first is using the 32-bit binary download of CMake to build vxl.
The vxl build tries a number of times to use TRY_RUN. The try (compile)
part works, but the run part always fails with message complaining about a
bad side-by-side configuration:

Anyway, I figured it was an issue with a 32-bit CMake trying to run a 
64-bit program (why it want to
compile it with a DEBUG flag is another issue). So I tried to build a 
64-bit version of CMake with
Visual Studio 2008.  I was able to run CMake on CMake without any 
problems; however, the compile
failed with many errors in the header files.  This occurred whether or 
not I checked the build testing option.

Any ideas to either one of these problems.  Thanks.
