[vtk-developers] *vtkMy* : building modules outside VTK 4.0 tree (was RE: vtkLocal in 15 Easy Steps)

[David Gobbi]

Hi Sebastien,

Just a quick question: is there a way to specify alternative 'hints'
files, instead of adding to Wrapping/hints?  It would also be very
nice if the 'hints' file was split up into several files, one for
each kit.  It doesn't seem that this would be very hard to do.
