[Insight-users] switching debug and release build of itk build

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Alfonso,

There are no major differences between using ITK
from a build tree or from an installed directory.

An installed ITK will be a bit more convenient if
you don't anticipate to update ITK regularly.


     Regards,


         Luis
