[CMake] Building VTK, how to install it?, how does CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX work?

[David Cole]

See the usage of VTK_TEST_INSTALL in Common/Testing/CMakeLists.txt... It 
could be off because you're using rpath or because the name of the 
InstallTest/Root is not "as expected..." There's some other logic in 
there too to figure out whether to add this test.

You can do a "ctest -R Install -N" in your binary directory to see if it 
gets listed as a test.
