[Insight-developers] Critical Visual Studio 10 Issue

[Matt McCormick]

Here are a few patches:

  http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/4474/
  http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/4473/

That turn off BUILD_EXAMPLES by default and emit a CMake configuration
warning if using Visual Studio 10 or 11.  This was was tested with
VisualStudio 10.

Thanks,
Matt
