[Insight-developers] Explicit instantiation linking issues on mac platform

[Hans Johnson]

Julien et. Al.,

I have been testing the explicit instantiation code, and determined that it
was not being installed correctly.  Building with explicit instantiation
turned on all tests and examples build and execute fine.   After installing
ITK, however, external packages can not be built against the explicit
instantiated version of ITK due to missing header files needed from the
explicit instantiations. (i.e. InsightApplications pointing to the installed
directories of ITK).

I have fixed this problem with the changes described in the included patch.
Please review these changes and provide feedback to me.  If I do not hear
any dissent by Wednesday, I will commit these changes.

Regards,
Hans
