Rainer, if you are willing to experiment, we can try the following.
Keep using VTK 4.0, and your current CMake (is it a release ?) and try any 
of those:

a)

edit the top VTK/CMakeList.txt file and add *at the top*:

ADD_DEFINITIONS(
-DUSE_NON_CONST
-DUSE_COMPOSITELESS_PHOTO_PUT_BLOCK
)

or the less intrusive b)

Run your favorite CMake cache editor (i.e. CMakeSetup, or ccmake), show the 
advanced values, and add the above flags to any of those (if they exist):

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
CMAKE_C_FLAGS

Thus, your CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS will probably look like:
-g -O2 -DUSE_NON_CONST -DUSE_COMPOSITELESS_PHOTO_PUT_BLOCK

Keep me posted if any of those work
