[vtkusers] cvs update / cmake build problems fails the 2nd time

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Dominik,

You mentioned in your original email that you removed the source 
directory. If you removed the top level of the source tree (something 
like rm -r VTK/), then you won't have anything left to do a cvs update 
from (even with the -d option). If you completely remove the source 
directory, you'll have to do cvs checkout. This is a matter of how cvs 
operates; it is not VTK-specific.
