It certainly would be nice if it got built automagically, so as to keep API changes and whatnot from breaking it.  But it's not a test, it's an example of an interactive application.  Since it has its own CMakeLists.txt, isn't it just a matter of some higher level CMake stuff building it?  I'm afraid my knowledge of CMake is limited to 'cd bin; cmake ../VTK; make install'. :)
