vtk.spec version 14 with changes noted in comment

Some comments:

- With cmake projects, I like to do:

make VERBOSE=1 %{?_smp_mflags}

to see the compile command lines.  Helps with debugging builds.  Produces
copious output though.

- Are there really cmakes < 2.0.4 out there in the wild?

- You can use DESTDIR with the cmakes in Fedora.

- Usually you do out of tree builds with cmake.

- Why not build Java, Qt Designer, GL2PS, and with OSMesa support?  OSMesa
isn't avail in FC5 but is in FC6, though it may be buggy.

- I find all the automatic generating of file lists confusing and prone to
problems, but it's a matter of taste.

- I'd like to get the test suite run with ctest, but it currently tries to run
tests that need a display.  You can turn that off with VTK_USE_DISPLAY=OFF, but
then the tests/examples are not built and so cannot be installed in the
examples subpackage.
