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.

Also searched the CMakeCache.txt file and ITK_BUILD_SHARED does not appear anywhere.
