New description:

 VTK 4.2 follows one version of the VTK API, but VTK 4.4 provides a
 transition API moving toward VTK 5.
 There are "interim" releases available from the VTK website:

  * http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php#interim
  * http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2003-December/070809.html

 It would be useful to have a way to grab this interim release for use with
 code that targets the newer
 API. The CVS HEAD does include development for 4.4.x, but the interim
 releases might be a little more
 stable than checking out the latest bleeding edge code from CVS.
 Technically, the devel variant should
 be version 4.4, not 4.3. Since VTK 4.2 and VTK 4.4 are considered
 different, how might DarwinPorts
 support both these versions?
