Summary:                    Build VTK on WIN7 using ALL static libs as a default
when CMake's BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is unchecked
Description: 
I would agree. Creating a static library but requiring a shared runtime always
seemed to boggle my mind. I think this is something CMake does on it's own but
possibly we can override it in a future release. Please file a bug at
vtk.org/Bug so we don't forget about this.

Hello VTK Lurkers, 
When building VTK 5.8 as a static library under WIN7 using C-Make 2.8.6… 
I un-check BUILD_SHARED_LIBS under the C-Make GUI. 
The generated VC++ 2005 solution contains projects with 
C / C++ | Code Generation set to  
/MD instead of the correct /MT (Multi-threaded (/MT)). 
I must then manually change all of the /MD's to /MT's under the C-Make GUI's
advanced settings. 

It would be more convenient to have C-Make automatically set to /MT and /MTd 
if BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is un-checked. 

thx
