Hi, I was pretty sure that you are referring to the USE_SYSTEM_* variables ;-)
Actually, in http://docs.mitk.org/nightly-qt4/BuildInstructionsPage.html (at the end) the process of using your own external libraries is explained. In the CMake GUI, there is a button "Add entry", which you can use to add ITK_DIR for example (you must do it in the superbuild build tree). The rational for not providing USE_SYSTEM_* variables was to explicitly *not* making it too easy for beginners to use their own libraries. If we would provide such variables, you would still have to specify the value for ITK_DIR (if it is not automatically found by CMake, which it usually isn't) and we would have to add more complexity to the build system for checking if your "system libraries" are configured such that MITK is happy. With the current approach, using external libraries is for advanced users who know how to configure them... (I know that sounds like an excuse for being lazy not implementing USE_SYSTEM_*).
