    • It must be BEFORE any other caching try_compiles.
    • The stdlib can be set as in the CMake variables.
  • Do we need to detect what Qt is compile against? and set the standard lib as a required flag across super build projects?
  • How should this be handled in SimpleITK's super build and non-super builds?

• Enabling Threading in SimpleITK, and other Python Threading issues.
  • Options for Qt Event loop which unlock the Python GIL
