Thanks.  To re-iterate, this will give the following four core paths for 
VTKConfig.cmake:
VTK_INCLUDE_DIRS - compile-time include dirs
VTK_LIBRARY_DIRS - compile-time library dirs
VTK_EXECUTABLE_DIRS - executable path, e.g. "/bin" directories
VTK_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS - run-time library path: e.g. "/bin" on Windows 
installs, "/lib" for UNIX installs
