On linux (with latest cvs) it seems to work irregardless of whether 
there's an explicit update or not. I'll have to check my installation on 
windows and re-compile the VTK and see what happens. But just as I 
suspected, it's probably not a bug in VTK.

The compiling is a bit slow, and made even slower because the Makefiles 
have to be messed with everytime CMake updates them, but
other than that, I haven't had any problems at all. I had my share of 
problems with Borland and Microsoft's offerings, so even if you leave 
philosophical issues out of the picture, I think it's the easiest 
free-as-in-beer solution for windows. But that's just my opinion.
