[vtkusers] VTK, MacOS and X11

[Mathieu Malaterre]

John,

    MacOSX comes with two differents OpenGL, and in the case of X11, you 
should use the other one:

Ref:

//What is the path where the file GL/gl.h can be found
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/X11R6/include

//OpenGL lib for OSX
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:STRING=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib

//AGL lib for OSX
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:STRING=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.dylib
