[vtkusers] Compile VTK under Mac Os X 10.9.5 with python 2.7.8

[David Gobbi]

Hi Marco,

The easiest thing to do is set this variable in your cmake cache and
then run "make" and "make install" again:

VTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE_DIR:PATH=/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

By default, VTK installs all files within the "install prefix" /usr/local,
so the python modules go into /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
Unfortunately, Apple's python doesn't look for packages there.
