[vtkusers] Accessing VTK_DATA_ROOT from C++

[Tuhin Sinha]

Let me append some more information to this.  After inspecting the 
vtkTestUtilities.h file, I noticed that the default VTK_DATA_ROOT is hard 
coded into the file.  This file is not generated dynamically, so the default 
root has been specified by someone at Kitware.  Shouldn't the default value 
be replaced with the value specified by the user during the CMake generation 
process?  That is, should there be a vtkTestUtilities.h.in and a 
CONFIGURE_FILE command in the associated CMakeLists.txt file?

Thanks for your time.
