[vtk-developers] Request: turn off BTX/ETX in some dashboad builds

I was wondering if some brave volunteers could turn on the
VTK_IGNORE_BTX option in their dashboard builds.  This will cause the
wrappers to ignore the BTX/ETX markers in the header files and parse
everything.  The idea is that the wrappers can figure out for
themselves what they can wrap, without needing hints in the header
files.  Eventually it would be nice to eliminate BTX/ETX from all VTK
code.

A caveat, though, is not to do this if you are running ParaView or
other apps that wrap their own classes.  I don't export the
vtkWrapHierarchy stuff from VTK yet, so external wrapping is still
dependent on the BTX/ETX markers in the externally-wrapped classes.

Cheers,

   David
