Yes, the USE_FLTK option relates only to the InsightApplications package.
Since the Applications were split out, the core ITK no longer has any
external dependencies on GUI toolkits etc.

Yes, FLTK_FLUID_EXECUTABLE should be set to the location of fluid, normally
/usr/bin/fluid.  This is used to generate the .cxx/.h implementation from
the .fl interface definitions.

You just need to install the fluid package as well, which is typically
distributed separately.  You should obtain it from the same location as the
fltk and fltk-devel packages (to ensure they are consistent versions).

That should be all you need to do.  Happy hacking!
