So how are you setting this up? Are you building ITK in 2 separate  
build directories, one with Debug and the other with RelWWithDebInfo?  
And then in your project cmake picks up BOTH sets of libraries  
automatically? What would I set the ITK_DIR variable to? If that is  
the case then I'll change up a bit. But I would _still_ like to see  
ITK with decorated libraries.
