Next release of Orfeo Toolbox will be more nice on those regards, 
it will be linkable with Debian ITK and Ossim, instead of using

The static lib currently is something provided if available. Is there

Which is something good at this stage. I'm not sure if a testing suite
is available as in the GDAL case, it is out of question thinking to
test individually all utilities.
