[vtk-developers] VTK and Tcl83

Hey Folk,

I took David Gobbi's suggestion and added an tk83 subdirectory under
VTK/Rendering/tkInternals that includes the internal files for Tk 8.3.
It turns out with CMake it is pretty easy to do a

IF (WIN32)
  IF (TK_LIBRARY MATCHES tk83.lib)
    use the 83 internal header files
  ELSE (....)
    use the 82 files
  ENDIF (...)
etc

I checked in the changes to VTK and CMake to support this and it seems
to work with the 8.3.2 distribution of Tcl/Tk now. At some point when
84 becomes beta/final we can add a tk84 subdirectory and do the same
trick for Tk84.
