[CMake] HOW DO I: Build VTK with CMake/ExternalProject_add against Qt with Cocoa on OS X?

[Michael Jackson]

Not sure about the X11 part but you would definitely want to set  
VTK_USE_CARBON=OFF and VTK_USE_COCOA=ON in the CMakeCache for VTK, how  
ever you need to do this with ExternalProject_add(). I would think  
that it should "just work".
