One caution about that guide. If you build shared libraries and you
use the INSTALL target you can only execute your application in the
configuration of VTK that you installed. For example if you install
the Release version of VTK you can not run the debug version of your
application against the installed dlls because this is highly likely
to cause a crash. The reason is Microsoft debug CRT is not compatible
with the release CRT. It is also not compatible with any other visual
studio version.
