[vtkusers] 'make install' issues

Hello,

I noticed that a 'make install' step is not
included in the install documentations, but
decided to try it anyways. The install
fails in a couple of areas:

1) Does not correctly move many of
the C++ header files -- tried to move
files with extension *.cxx.h instead
of *.h. Example:

Installing vtkImageExtractComponents.cxx.h
  ERROR!!! Unable to find: vtkImageExtractComponents.cxx.h
Installing vtkImageFFT.cxx.h
  ERROR!!! Unable to find: vtkImageFFT.cxx.h
.
.
.

2) Does not move the file vtkpython.py to
(install prefix)/lib/vtk. So any python scripts
need to still reference files in the source tree.

I've noticed this behavior both on Linux
and Irix.
