If you can,  use ccmake instead -- it lets you go back and edit things 
if you make a mistake.  It also has a short help-string for each option.

Some of the options are for turning on and off specific parts of the 
source-tree;  for instance,  VTK_USE_HYBRID controls whether the classes 
under Hybrid/ will be built.  If you don't need any of them,  you don't 
need to build them into vtk.
