Just a note: last time I checked dynamic compilation was not supported by 
SCIRun on Windows platforms. This is a necessary since Windows is a 
required platform. We can talk more at the TCon.

Also, I think that you are asking for fundamental changes to ITK with 
approximately 4 months left of development (in July we are thinking to 
freeze all new features and start preparing the final ITK version 1.4 since 
the project expires in September). This is a lot to ask in the time given.
