But VTK is doing ABI change based on the minor version...

Anyway just change:

# Append the library version information to the library target
# properties.  A parent project may set its own properties and/or may
# block this.
IF(NOT VTK_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION)
  SET(VTK_LIBRARY_PROPERTIES ${VTK_LIBRARY_PROPERTIES}
    VERSION "${VTK_VERSION}"
    SOVERSION "${VTK_MAJOR_VERSION}.${VTK_MINOR_VERSION}"
    )
ENDIF(NOT VTK_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION)


into something like:

# Append the library version information to the library target
# properties.  A parent project may set its own properties and/or may
# block this.
IF(NOT VTK_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION)
  SET(VTK_LIBRARY_PROPERTIES ${VTK_LIBRARY_PROPERTIES}
    VERSION "${VTK_VERSION}"
    SOVERSION "${VTK_MAJOR_VERSION}"
    )
ENDIF(NOT VTK_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION)
