How to setup qt/vtk/itk on windows

Step 0: Set up files and forder hierarchy

• 0.1 Download qt 4.8/qt add-on /vtk 5.8/itk 3.2 /cmake 2.8
• 0.2 Create a folder called "qt-vtk-itk"
• 0.3 Create "qt 4.8"/"vtk 5.8"/"itk 3.2" folders under "qt-vtk-itk"
• 0.4 Create "Src" forlder for each of 3 forlders
• 0.5 install qt 4.8 to the "qt 4.8" folder
• 0.6 unzip vtk 5.8 to the "vtk 5.8/src" folder
• 0.7 unzip itk 3.2 to the "itk 3.2/src" folder
• 0.8 install cmake Step 1: Set up Qt
