I call finders in my master CMakeLists.txt file and do not put any
files in any of the build trees for any of the compilers I use.

On windows (because there is no standard library install location) a
lot of times this means I need to either manually find the
dependencies when I run cmake-gui or define BOOST_ROOT, ITK_DIR ... in
my environment variables.
