The issue is that when I look that the generated ITKConfig.cmake file I see the value (ITK_BUILD_SHARED "OFF"). This causes problems as I am trying to create a deployable windows application and I need to figure out if my project should be including the ITK dll files.

Strange I agree, but it does not correspond. So any idea what to do? Besides a clean build? It took my a few hours of fighting with ITK to convince ITK to use my HDF5 libraries.
