[vtkusers] ANNOUNCE: vtk 6.0.0.rc1 is available to download

[Dženan Zukić]

Now I call vtk from CMakeLists like this:
FIND_PACKAGE(VTK 6.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS vtkGUISupportQtOpenGL NO_MODULE)

but when compiling the project I still get LNK1181 with
vtkTestingGenericBridge.lib if I keep BUILD_TESTING set to off.

Setting BUILD_TESTING to 1 solves the issue (regardless of the way how
find_package is called). But I think it is stupid to require users to
enable building of internal tests just so their normal applications can
link properly.
