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

[David Gobbi]

The new TestIgnoreBTX tcl test was timing out (hopefully fixed now
though), but tonight's dashboard should provide more informative
results.  DASH3 continuous seems to have VTK_IGNORE_BTX=OFF stuck in
cache.

Still, the results have given me enough confidence that I'll start
work on VTK's CMake scripts so that the vtkKitHierarchy.txt files will
be installed/exported.  Then I can see if this IGNORE_BTX stuff can
also be used by ParaView.  The ability for the wrappers to ignore BTX
without breaking depends on the type information stored in the
Hierarchy.txt files, so IGNORE_BTX and the new Hierarchy files go
together.
