That was not the question. The question is that if ITK has been built WITH
ITKVtkGlue, it is not possible (linker errors) to work on a project that
does NOT use find_package(VTK). I can't add find_package(VTK) to my
ITK-only project CMakeLists.txt files because then users will be forced to
comment these lines when they try to build my code, which doesn't make
sense at all, and will surely lead to much confusion.
