[vtkusers] not all examples are being built on unix-out-of-source

[Amy Squillacote]

Please keep the discussion on the VTK user's list. I'm also copying this 
to the ParaView user's list.

In this case, you might be able to get away with changing the CMake 
settings for the VTK that's contained in ParaView since you're just 
trying to get all the examples to build. However, in general, I would 
recommend *against* changing ParaView's VTK settings; it's too easy to 
mess up your ParaView build while doing that. You can certainly use the 
VTK source code in ParaView for doing an out-of-source build of VTK 
though (i.e., you don't have to download the VTK source code again).
