There are a lack of windows builds on the dashboard now. What happened to the Kitware build?
My builds are experiencing some “random” time outs.
I am wondering if this is related to the recent Threading changes?

I compiled with RelWithDebInfo.
I looks like the program is hanging in `itk::ThreadPool::PlatformWait`. It looks like ThreadPools are enabled by default now.

This seems to happen with shared libraries on Windows. I was testing with static libraries mostly. I will get back to this, but not before Friday - I am out of office tomorrow and Thursday.
Yes, ThreadPool is on by default now, because we need extra testing for it.

The Kitware Windows builds were offline due to a Windows update. The builds will return as they catch up.
