You do not need to put those files in the VTK directory. Each article
should come with an example, something like PointSet...Example.cxx.
There is an accompanying CMakeLists.txt which will find VTK and use it
to compile the article code (directly in the directory you downloaded
it in) as well as compile the provided example that demonstrates the
functionality.

If you did want to place the files in the VTK directory so they
compile "inside" your VTK build, you would also have to add the cxx
files to the appropriate CMakeLists.txt file in the VTK/[directory]
folder.
