We used to provide a VTK_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS variable to clients
to specify the directories to put in PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
load VTK shared libraries at runtime.  That was the proper value
to use for your purpose IIUC.  However, it was accidentally left
out of the modularization infrastructure.  I propose this fix:
