[vtkusers] CMake Cache Value Questions

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Mike,

You need to check out VTKData from CVS before you can set 
VTK_DATA_ROOT.  From http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php:

For testing purposes you might wish to checkout the CVS VTKData:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTKData login
(respond with password vtk)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTKData co VTKData

I'm guessing that VTK_CMAKETEST_EXE should be set to point to your 
ctest executable (in the same directory with CMakeSetup.exe); I 
couldn't find this variable in my CMakeCache.txt file, so I couldn't 
check the value.
