Building to the RelWithDebInfo target, I had none of these problems.

It's not as bad as it sounds.  My binary install of the RelWithDebInfo
WrapITK 3.2 (VS 2005 SP1) is about 500MB.  I'm using more than the

I didn't see this problems, probably due to a difference in my config.

You can download my WrapITK 3.2 binaries by going here:
