CMake reports that it failed to compile the VTK extensions (to CMake).  
Then it won't let you generate the make files.

I have my ITK Applications compiling now with FLTK and VTK (CMake 1.7) 
by replacing the
FIND_PACKAGE(X) statements with
INCLUDE(${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/Find{X}.cmake)

which is the way VTK does it.  I also had to change any VTK_WRAP_TCL2() 
or VTK_WRAP_PYTHON2() commands to omit the 2.

There's still a little problem where wrapping the vtkITK example into 
Python (which CMake insists on doing because that's the way VTK was 
compiled) fails because CMake tries to -L the VTK python modules.  This 
is a problem in the CMakeLists.txt file that I remember having with 
vtkLocal in the past on the Mac.

What exactly is FIND_PACKAGE?  It doesn't seem to be covered in any of 
the CMake documentation and only CMake 1.65 seems to support it.
