I will try that when I have my test W7 PC on-line again. It has been
hibernated to make room for other virtual machines I need...

I have no knowledge of how CMake is set up or how to use it for a
project other than the directions from the VTK project I am trying to
build. VTK apparently contains what is needed to configure CMake usage
within its sources.
But I don't know how it works....

I searched the CMake output directory tree for some clues based on
what I see in the make command window in terms of errors and commands.
The binary tree is an output of CMake where one later executes the
command "make" to build the VTK libraries. The VTK developers are the
ones who have used CMake commands and whatever in their source tree to
make CMake work to create the build binary tree.

Don't know how to do that....
