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

[Dominik Szczerba]

Hi Amy,
What I meant was: I failed to build the project AFTER 'cvs ... update'.
THEN I removed (actually, renamed to VTK.old) the source tree, and did
'cvs .... checkout' into a clean VTK/ folder. This one built fine. My
question was: why did the updated version fail to build and the checked
out version not.
