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

[David Gobbi]

Thats funny, in my own build (VTK master, cmake 3.5) I deleted some of the
target files and then configured & built a project against VTK, and cmake
didn't give me any warnings or errors.  I'll have to experiment some more
to be sure that I understand what's going on.
