[vtk-developers] Correct packaging of Tcl/Python/Java wrappers

Hi folks,

commonly distributions split VTK into several packages, e.g.:

- libvtk (VTK implementation shared libraries)
- vtk-python (Python wrappers)
- vtk-java (Java wrappers)
- vtk-tcl (Tcl wrappers)
- vtk-devel (development headers, cmake files)

As far as I understand, the vtkWrap{Python,Tcl,Java}{,Init} executables are 
used to generate the wrappers itself, and can be used to generate wrappers for 
e.g. derived classes.

These executables are no runtime dependency of the wrappers, and as such 
should be packaged with the development headers, correct?

Kind regards,

Stefan
