[vtkusers] VTK 5.0 TCL Wrapping

Hi,

VTK_WRAP_TCL was never provided by CMake (as far as I know), it's  
provided by VTK itself. If you have a look in VTK/Examples/Build/vtkMy  
and VTK/Examples/Build/vtkLocal you will see two very clear examples  
of how to have your own classes built and wrapped in the VTK manner.

The TCL wrapping macro is actually called VTK_WRAP_TCL3 and you will  
get access to it when you include UseVTK.cmake for your VTK build, eg:

find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

Hope this helps,
Rob
