[Insight-developers] Compiling applications outside Insight tree

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Sayan,

itkpng.lib and MetaIO are included because
their IO factories are registered by the default.
This makes possible to relieve users from having
to invoke:   XXXImageIOFactory.RegisterOneFactory().

That's the reason why even though you are not using
Meta objects explicitly, the libraries are required
at link time.

Maybe we could put together a CMake variable
containig the list of the minimum set of ITK libraries
that are always required. This will make the external
projects look nicer.
