Summary:                    cross compilation tools
Description: 
I was cross compiling VTK for win32 on a linux host using mingw-cross-env.
I had to run a native build first in order to use the compile tools.
Unfortunately, the compile tools H5detect, H5make_libsettings and
${KWSYS_NAMESPACE}EncodeExecutable are built and run during a cross compilation,
which will only work with a wine installation.
I came up with a patch for kwsys and vtkhdf5 (see attachments) to build the
tools on a native compile and export them similar to the other compile tools. I
also added a "CompileTools" target in the main CMakeLists.txt file to only build
the compile tools during the native build.
