[vtkusers] How to specify the path to VTK in CMake?

[Dave Partyka]

You shouldn't need to set a VTK_DIR environment variable. Also you can
simplify your logic slightly by using FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED) instead.

 That said, the only thing you should have to do is set VTK_DIR in the cmake
gui to C:\WORK\LIBS\VTK_BIN_5.6.0_x64 and that should be it. Are there
definately VTKConfig.cmake and UseVTK.cmake files in the root of your build
directory?
