Summary	0004405: Identify and cancel microsoft windows compiler warnings considered "irrelevant"
Description	For example, the following warning reported when building VTK could be shutdown adding: /wd4127 To the VTK compile flags (either directly in VTK or when building it) `Warning 74 warning C4127: conditional expression is constant [D:\T\Slicer-jcfr-rel\VTKv7-build\GUISupport\Qt\vtkGUISupportQt.vcxproj] d:\support\qt-4.8.7-64-vs2013-rel\src\corelib\tools\qlist.h 409 1 VTKv7`

The specific warning that is mentioned is in VTK code, so it should be addressed there.
