[vtkusers] place 64 bit libs in /usr/local/lib64 automagically for VTK on AMD64?

You can always set your install prefix to something
like /opt/vtk-cvs-2005.06.27-x86_64 for 64 bit and
and /opt/vtk-cvs-2005.06.27-i386 for i386.  All the libraries will still
be in $PREFIX/lib.  If you do something goofy like that maybe you could
put that directory in CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH to get cmake to find them.
