Correct, my first attempt at bringing in and using the hierarchy
failed miserably, so PVCS only depends on the wraptools library.

I would like to try again though and use the hierarchy in PVCS as part
of the effort to get rid of the remaining need for btx/etx flags
littering VTK. Is it possible to move that into the wraptools module
as well?
