[vtkusers] vtkMy TCL packages in static build

thanks for the sample.  It seems that your project is modelled after
VTK/Examples//Build/vtkLocal which contains all the user defined
classes in that root directory and not with multiple sub-dirs as
in VTK/Examples/Build/vtkMy

So, for me,

>SET(VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES ${VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES} vtkBioengTCL)

would have to be, for example:

SET( VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES ${VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES}
     vtkMyGraphicsTCL
     vtkMyImagingTCL
     vtkMyHybridTCL
     vtkMyIoTCL
     vtkMyRenderingTCL )

but I do not know what to do about the extern C scripting that precedes.

Does this seem sensible:

         { ${BSLASH}
         return TCL_ERROR; ${BSLASH}
         } " )

SET( VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES ${VTK_EXTRA_TCL_LIBRARIES}

     vtkMyImagingTCL

Also, do I create a LocalUserOptions.cmake and place it in my VTK source
tree:
VTK/Utilities/Wrapping/Tcl/LocalUserOptions.cmake ?

I'm not sure what you mean here...

>You may also like to include here

>INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(...)

many thanks so far...
