[vtkusers] use FIND_LIBRARY to find multiple libraries

[Dr. X]

Hi All,
Can I use FIND_LIBRARY to find multiple libraries? This is what I want 
to do.
> FIND_LIBRARY(VTK_LIBRARIES_DEBUG
>     NAMES vtkCommon vtkIO vtkFiltering vtkGraphics vtkViews vtkRendering
>     PATHS ${VTK_LIBRARY_DIRS_DEBUG}
>     HINTS ${VTK_LIBRARY_DIRS_DEBUG}
>     REQUIRED
> )
CMake only find the first match - vtkCommon.lib.
This pagehttp://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:How_To_Find_Libraries shows 
that you can handle multiple libraries with a single FIND_LIBRARY call.

However, this thread tells me otherwise.

Would you please clarify? Thanks a lot.
