[Insight-users] Using ITK with visual studio and not cmake

I can tell you as a 12 year windows programmer before ever using
CMake, its much much easier to do this with cmake. And also cmake
actually a lot of benefit to visual studio. Out of source builds,
built in unit testing, built in install generator, ability to have one
project file for all versions of visual studio VC6+... Eventually I
will convert all my old projects to use cmake and drop the .vsproj and
.dsp files out of my cvs repository...

Yes, that should be inside the build tree. I have my ITK source at

X:\CMakeBase\Libraries\ITK-3.16

and the build tree at

X:\32Bit\VC.80\Libraries\ITK-3.16

and I can see a itkConfigure.h in that folder.
