[vtk-developers] backward compatible cmake support for vtk modular

[Pat Marion]

I could be wrong, but I thought that using VTK_LIBRARIES would cause your
project to link to all vtk libraries, when you may only want to link with
specific ones, like vtkFiltering (or vtkFiltersCore for modularized.)

Also, is there is a cmake flag that can determine whether or not the vtk in
use if modularized or not?  Perhaps just looking at the VTK version number?
