[vtkusers] RE: [CMake] tcl wrapping & LocalUserOptions.cmake

[Dean Inglis]

Brad,

thanks for trying, but I think I'm out of my element at the 
moment when it comes to understanding Tcl wrapping.  I submitted 
a feature request to the vtk bug tracker last week to see if 
someone could set up a working LocalUserOptions.cmake in 
VTK/Examples/Build/vtkMy, since my attempt clearly does not work.
