[vtkusers] Building the Examples directory

I have installed vtk version 4.0

I asked cmake to build the Examples directory, but in fact they don't
get built.  The   VTK/Examples directory looks like:

venice-198% ls -al
total 27
drwxrwsr-x  15 nkilleen source        512 Dec  3 16:07 .
drwxrwsr-x  16 nkilleen source       1024 Dec  3 16:09 ..

drwxrwsr-x   3 nkilleen source        512 Nov 18 15:01 VolumeRendering


However, the CMakeLists.txt file in the Examples directory consists only

IF (VTK_USE_PARALLEL)
   SUBDIRS(ParallelProcessing)
ENDIF (VTK_USE_PARALLEL)


and so consequently the majority of the examples are not built.

Can someone tell me the reason for this ? I don't want to waste
time attempting to build them (by first modifying CMakeLists) if its
pointless...


thanks
Neil
