VTK always uses ansi streams with GCC except for strstream.  The problem 
is that VTK still works with compilers that have strstream but not its 
ansi replacement stringstream.  VTK should be using -Wno-deprecated to 
disable these warnings for GCC until a compatibility layer is added.  If 
it doesn't add this automatically, you can add it to your 
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to disable the warnings.
