[vtkusers] VTK on "Catamount"

[Randall Hand]

Kewl, I was hoping you'ld chime in :)  For now, I'll take this as a
semi-official notice that VTK/Paraview on XT3 is a "no-go" until the OS
Upgrade.

I'm surprised to hear you say that about CMake Tho.  I know that the one
time I tried to cross-compile with CMake I didn't get very far and found
other more-entertaining ways to pass the hours.  Andy seemed to think it was
doable, and definately supported.  Any of you Kitware guys care to chime
in?  /poke Bill Hoffman

As for people who want to, us HPC guys definately.. With the differences
between login nodes & operating nodes becoming more prevalent, it's becoming
more of a pain in my ass by the day.  I also imagine the Apple "Universal
Binary" folks would like to see it.
