[vtkusers] VTK 4.0 Local?

[William A. Hoffman]

With VTK 4.0 and CMake there is no need for Local anymore.
It is easy to build a project that uses VTK and VTK's wrapping facilities, but
is not directly in the VTK tree.

See Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Cxx  for a simple CMakeLists.txt file, with no 
wrapping,
but uses VTK libraries.

For wrapping see one of the CMakeLists.txt files in VTK, like 
Common/CMakeLists.txt.

specifically this stuff:
IF (VTK_WRAP_TCL)
   VTK_WRAP_TCL(vtkCommonTCL CommonTCL_SRCS Common_SRCS)
   ADD_LIBRARY(vtkCommonTCL CommonTCL_SRCS vtkTclUtil)
   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (vtkCommonTCL ${TCL_LIBRARY})
   INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib/vtk vtkCommonTCL)
ENDIF (VTK_WRAP_TCL)
