I understand, then if possible, how about making sources and binaries
of VTK 4.0-pre before doing this and delaying things a bit.  I can
manage to get around this problem myself.  But it really would be a
good idea to make things easier for the users and others.  You really
cant expect everyone to access VTK off CVS and then get Cmake too off
CVS and then build both etc. Dont you folks think so?

This is just a request.  No hard feelings. :)
