Not sure what you mean.  Bring PVCS into wraptools?  The
vtkWrapHierarchy tool is already in WrapperTools but
CMake/vtkWrapping.cmake only applies it to the files if one
of the wrapping languages is turned on.  I'd like to change
vtkWrapping.cmake to build the hierarchy files whenever the
WrapperTools module is on, but I'm not sure how.
