Ah, I see.  I would have thought that, at the very least, CMake would add
it as "-D VTK_LEAN_AND_MEAN" to the compiler command line.  When
I looked through some "historical" VTK releases, I found out where it used
to be defined: in pcmaker.exe.  So it looks like it was an option that only
used for building in Release mode on Windows, and that was back around
ten years ago.  I thought that it was still used for something, but it seems
that I was wrong.
