[vtkusers] vtk python lib's dependency on libvtkCommonPython not set by cmake

[michael edens]

When trying to run a python script (using either vtkpython or python)   
the following error is reported

Traceback (most recent call last):

   File

For some reason none of the python libs have  libvtkCommonPython.so (or  
any other libvtk""Python.so library) set as a dependency by cmake  
(1.6.7). Trying to correct this in the CMakeCache file does not work.

Any suggestions.

I have built VTK-4.2.2 under OSX 10.2.6 for X11.


Here is the pertinent section of my CMakeCache file.
