On the Fink site, under "packages". I did a search for "vtk" and got no 
result. Then I did a search for "cmake" and found version 1.8.2. All that 
yesterday evening.

which I do not have the info files on my disk, even right after an update. 
More than once I had to go to the CVS repository to find an info file.

Then I guess I should go for 4.4 - I need this just for MayaVi.
