[vtkusers] Mac OS X related questions

[Raphael Sebbe]

OK, that's the way to go. I try to only use that as a last resort (and 
-framework Cocoa is obviously not a good example).

Yet, there are some special cases, for example, Tcl headers in OS X are 
located in 2 different places and it is not clear to me how to tell that 
to CMake, which only asks for one path.
