I'd like to see it fixed too.  I get it when using a very recent version of 
CMake (Mar 30 CVS), but not if I use CMake 2.4.5.

Commenting out in VTK/Utilities/MaterialLibrary/CMakeLists.txt:
#ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(vtkMaterialLibraryConfiguredFiles ALL DEPENDS
#  ${vtkMaterialLibraryConfiguredFilesDependencies}
#  )

supresses it.  That's probably not the right fix.
