On looking into this further I am unable to reproduce it. I see you
are doing this on Windows, and vtkTestingGenericBridge seems to be
giving you the issue. This is only referenced by the vtkFiltersGeneric
TEST_DEPENDS as far as I can tell, could you provide a fuller sample
of your CMake code? It looks like you are trying to find
vtkGUISupportQtOpenGL, which has no dependency on this module,
printing the contents of ${VTK_LIBRARIES} would be useful, along with
exact VTK version (RC1 I guess), compiler, steps to build VTK locally.

Thanks for reporting this issue, hopefully we can get to the bottom of
this soon (I can give this a try on a Windows machine, but I don't see
how vtkTestingGenericBridge is getting linked to from
vtkGUISupportQtOpenGL to be honest - even with testing turned on).
