[CMake] CMake 2.4.3, VTK 5.0.2, VS 2005 Express

[David Cole]

Ah...

Perhaps adding "/MANIFEST" to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS,
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS and CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS is what you
need, then. I can't recall exactly why this is needed in some
circumstances and not others, but I have had to add these manually in
some projects using VS8 and CMake 2.4.3 -- I think it's a bug that's
fixed in CVS CMake...

Certainly looks short enough to me.

HTH,
Dave
