[vtk-developers] VTK 5.10 does not compile on Mac 10.9

[David E DeMarle]

Sorry, my earlier email wasn't clear enough. I was using 10.9 as an example
of something we WILL merge into 5.10. I've added more text below to make
what I meant clearer.

In related news, I updated the vtk_common.cmake dashboard script and setup
the first 5.10 submitter (dashlin1) Yesterday. Today I will set up Mac and
Windows submitters and tomorrow I will clean up or silence any minor issues
that turn up on them. Establishing a firm dashboard baseline was the last
thing keeping us from merging in fixes to 5.10.
