DRE: various VTK cmake config files refer to incorrect paths for python

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using DRE to build custom VTK libraries on Windows, the compiler fails 
to find include files and libraries for the included version of python. 
Investigation shows that several files in \DeVIDE-RE\VTK\lib\vtk-5.4 refer 
to an incorrect location (C:/build/jwd/inst/python). Changing these manually 
to point to the correct path for this machine fixes the problem.

The files in question are:
- VTKConfig.cmake (line 15: python include dir)
- VTKLibraryDepends.cmake (various references to the python library)

Additionally, a reference to the build/jwd path is found at line 61 in 
VTKConfig.cmake. It is unknown if this causes any problems.

Thank you very much for further investigating this on Windows!

I had previously succeeded doing this on Linux, see docs here: 
http://code.google.com/p/devide/wiki/AddingVTKLibsToBinaryDeVIDE

Do I understand correctly that you have managed to correctly build your own C++ 
VTK 
extension module with Python wrapping?!  If so, would you mind extending the 
documentation mentioned above for Windows also?

In the next DRE release I'll integrate as many of the fixes in the shipped 
build 
files.

Thanks again!!

Hardcoding the DeVIDE installation path in these files can be avoided by 
replacing 
"C:/build/jwd/inst/" with "${VTK_INSTALL_PREFIX}/../" rather than the full path.

The wiki page has now been updated with instructions for building extension 
modules on 
Windows.
