Hi Marcus,

Pre-modularization,  the vtk-tcl interpreter built with the vtk libs,
initialized all the vtk commands on startup without a "package require
vtk". That's the interpreter ctest uses to run rtImageTest.tcl.

The question is, post-mod, what has changed that requires rtImageTest.tcl
to have a "package require vtk".

I'll have a look when I've got a new build.
