Summary0008217: Feature Request: Able to use ITK with a single include dir + autolinking + differently named debug libs
DescriptionUsing a built and installed ITK requires setting up a great many include paths in order to make things compile (unless one uses cmake, which does this automatically, but that is not always an option).

VTK & Boost handles this gracefully. ITK should not be different.

It would simplify usage and integration into other build systems easier. (single include/lib/bin path, just point & run).

Related to this, autolinking of libs (using #pragma comment(lib, "foo.lib") on windows) would be nice, to avoid having to add 25 (or so) libs manually.

Also, each lib-set built (debug/release/xxx/yyy) ought to have differemt suffixes, to simplify deployment.

ITK looks really great. It's a shame it's so cumbersome to use (without cmake), compared to many other frameworks.
