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

[Xavier Mellado Esteban]

   Dear Alfonso:

   I don't think there are differences. If you want to use your build 
ITK without install it, there is no problem, it is exactly the same. I 
have been using it with and without installation, and I haven't notice 
any difference.

                          Regards:
                                             Xavi
