[vtkusers] Problem depending on VTK >= 8.1 with CMake 3.12.1 and VTK 8.1.1 on Win 10/MSVC 2017

[Elvis Stansvik]

Forgot to mention, this is with MSVC 2017.

Also for reference, it works on our regular Windows build worker, which has:

- Windows 8.1
- MSVC 2015
- CMake 3.7.2
- VTK 8.1.1

Everything is built the same way there, this is why I suspect some
behavioral change in CMake could be the cause.

Our find_package invocation for VTK is:

find_package(VTK 8.1 REQUIRED
  COMPONENTS
    vtkChartsCore
    vtkCommonCore
    vtkCommonDataModel
    vtkCommonExecutionModel
    vtkFiltersSources
    vtkGUISupportQt
    vtkImagingCore
    vtkImagingStatistics
    vtkInteractionStyle
    vtkRenderingAnnotation
    vtkRenderingContext2D
    vtkRenderingContextOpenGL2
    vtkRenderingCore
    vtkRenderingFreeType
    vtkRenderingOpenGL2
    vtkRenderingQt
    vtkRenderingVolume
    vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL2
    vtkViewsContext2D
)

VTK was built with:

cd \Users\Elvis\Dev\VTK-8.1.1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ^
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/Users/Elvis/Dev/VTK-8.1.1-inst ^
    -DVTK_Group_Qt=ON ^
    -DVTK_QT_VERSION=5 ^
    -DQt5_DIR=C:/Users/Elvis/Dev/Qt/Qt5.11.1/5.11.1/msvc2017_64/lib/cmake/Qt5 ^
    -DVTK_Group_Imaging=ON ^
    -DVTK_Group_Views=ON ^
    -DVTK_Group_MPI=OFF ^
    -DVTK_Group_Tk=OFF ^
    -DVTK_Group_Web=OFF ^
    -DVTK_Group_StandAlone=OFF ^
    -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ^
    -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=OFF ^
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
    -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=C:/Users/Elvis/Dev/ninja-win/ninja.exe ^
    -GNinja ^
    .. > cmake.out 2>&1
cmake --build . --config "Release" > build.out 2>&1
cmake --build . --target install > install.out 2>&1

Or could the error I'm getting in fact not be about a version
mismatch, but some missing VTK module? (very cryptic if so).

I'm attaching the output from the configuration of VTK on the
problematic machine (see cmake.out).
