[vtk-developers] Added new helper class (vtkDataObjectTypes)

[Mathieu Coursolle]

The update errors on Rogue's dashboard are something else.
A change in the CMakeFiles.txt conflicted with the CVS version.
 
However, I created an empty folder to check out the current CVS version
of VTK than build it. The error is something like this:
