[Insight-developers] multiple shared ITK libraries on windows

[Bill Lorensen]

I have done nothing with wrapping and shared libs. I really don't know if
you will have issues.

I hope that I am close with the shared lib issue for the ITK proper. Once
that is merged, we can look at the wrapping issues.
