The less the number of flags / user-options, the better. We probably
need a TRY_COMPILE for Video for Windows stuff, and the result of
that can be used to set VTK_USE_VIDEO_FOR_WINDOWS. If we are using
Cygwin, detect it (there is a CMake var for that), and don't compile
VideoSource because we know it's not ready for that yet.
