Thanks.  That isn't clear from the VTK documentation.  I'd also recommend 
upgrading the message; for people like me that haven't used cmake before 
and who are using it only to build someone else's tool (VTK in my case), 
this wasn't clear.  Or is this message coming from some VTK-specific 
extension to cmake?  In any event, I recommend making it clear who to query 
and set that value in the error message.

In terms of setting this cache variable, I don't have a ccmake.  Building 
cmake 1.6.7 with

configure -prefix=/mypath/prefix
make
make install

according to the instructions in cmake.pdf installs

cmake.exe
cmaketest.exe
ctest.exe

There is a ccmake.cxx in Source/CursesDialog/ccmake.cxx , but there is no 
Makefile there.  Maybe this is just an FYI, but base cygwin doesn't include 
curses.  I'll fetch that and start over.
