BTW, when you are building under Visual Studio do not build the
install target (like some guides tell you) that will only cause
problems with debugging because when you install the .dll names are
the same for debug and release so with the name collision you have to
choose to install debug or release instead of being able to use either
in a normal development process. For CMake based applications instead
you tell them where your VTK_DIR is and that location is the root
where you had your build created.
