Hi Luis,

Using Review is not the default, and already require to turn on an option.  
I don't think that's useful to add another option.

I have added a big warning when ITK_USE_REVIEW is used. It is displayed  
when running cmake, and when running make install (or equivalent). I hope  
there is no english mistake:

   "Warning: You have chosen to use the files in the Review directory. The  
Copyright of these files has not been cleared up, and the coding style and  
API of the classes in the Review directory may change drastically as it  
get code reviews from the developers. Please set ITK_USE_REVIEW to OFF if  
you don't want to use these files."

Is it enough ?

Thanks,

Gaetan
