[vtk-developers] Errors in building VTKExamples in today's CVS

[Dave Partyka]

I think the intention there was so that you could build the examples against
an installed vtk, though I guess that doesn't make sense as we no longer
ship libraries, just vtk.exe? I am CC'ing Brad King and Dave Cole  as I
remember one of them describing this to me a while back. I agree though,
that whole CMakeLists.txt is probably more complex than necessary.
