For the benefit of vtk-developers, I should have noted that this  
thread started in vtkusers; see  
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2006-September/087106.html

Also, the bit about WIN32 not being defined is speculation.  I could  
not figure out a way to have cmake tell me which symbols were defined,  
nor to provide any sort of verbose debugging output that would let me  
figure out, e.g. which branch of a cmake conditional was taken.
