But that would mean building a completely set of VTK-libraries? I was
trying to avoid that because I feared I might run into some kind of
DLL-Hell that way ("is this the VTK-libvtkcommon.so or the
Paraview-libvtkCommon.so I'm using?") But if it can not be avoided I
will try a separate build the way you described it
