[vtkusers] Why there is no FindVTK.cmake in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH

[David Gobbi]

CMake needs VTK_DIR to be set (either as an environment variable, or in the
CMakeCache.txt file).  This will allow CMake to find VTKConfig.cmake.
There is no FindVTK.cmake file.

VTK_DIR=C:/MyVTKProject/VTK-7.0.0/VTK-bin

Packages that have a XYZConfig.cmake file do not have a FindXYZ.cmake
file.  The CMake error message doesn't explain this very well,
unfortunately.
