[Insight-developers] make install fails with ITK-3.8 and CMake 2.6.0

[Tom Vercauteren]

Hi all,

I understand that what I was doing was not a common practice. I was
doing that for some obscure historical  reasons that are not worth
telling :)

Anyhow it used to work (at least until ITK 3.4 with the CMake version
available at that time).

I will happy to change my practice. Forbidding this use case is fine for me.

Tom
