[vtkusers] CMake and Add a Local directory of new classes?

[Tuhin Sinha]

Jean,

  I don't know if you've looked at ${VTKSRC}/Examples/Build/vtkMy, but I think 
that's what you want.  There is a README in there to walk you through it, but 
for the most part I just dump my new classes in vtkMy/Unsorted, add the name 
of the source file to the CMakeList.txt in Unsorted and I'm done.  Whoever, 
set this up is a god-send, my hats off.  Furthermore, it might be worthwhile 
to point new users to this directory instead of the directions on how to set 
up a 'local' directory.

HTH,

Tuhin
