[vtkusers] Building VTK on Mac OS X without using framework

[Theodore Sternberg]

I'd like to build VTK without using superuser privileges.  That is, I'd 
like to build VTK against Tcl, Tk and Python that I've built and installed 
as an ordinary user -- no "configure -framework" and "make 
frameworkinstall".

Has anyone ever done such an installation, successfully?  I'm having a lot 
of trouble.  For starters, ccmake generates a CMakeCache.txt that has some 
of the Tcl-related paths going to the Tcl I've built and others going to 
the system's Tcl down in /usr.  Ditto for Python.

Compilation proceeds normally in the various VTK directories (Common, 
Graphics, Rendering...) but then fails at the link stage, unless I 
manually put "-ltcl -ltk -lX11" on the link line.

The showstopper comes a while later, when building the vtkTkRenderWidget, 
with a conflict between how X.h and Quickdraw.h define "Cursor".

I've built VTK before, and successfully, against Tcl, Tk and Python 
installed under "framework".  The goal now is to build VTK without 
recourse to superuser privileges.
