I assume CMake has some "if" statements based on that variable.

Because ParaView will not compile on our system. We spent about a week 
getting ParaView 1.6.3 to work using a lot of hand editing.

The main problem is that CMake doesn't get the size of various variables 
right. It is also unable to decide between various overloaded functions in 
some places. Its not really a CMake problem - its just that our system may 
be a bit unusual. I hope to find a way to nudge CMake in the right 
direction.
