VTK 5.2 and GL2PS export

[Darren Weber]

I've done a bit of work on vtk-devel to make some things in the installation
version specific.  I have not tested whether vtk-devel can co-exist with
vtk5.

All the work on vtk-devel was based on the default variants (cocoa shared
wrap) plus testing and examples.  Nothing has been tested extensively, and
very little has been done with x11.

If you have time to run the build and install, I suggest the huge variant,
or no variants at all will give you a default set of variants.

vtk-devel has the variants:
    darwin_9: Platform variant, do not select manually
    huge: provide cocoa data doc examples shared testing wrap database mpi
boost
    data: provide example data in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/data
    doc: provide doxygen documentation in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/doc
    examples: provide VTK examples in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/examples
    shared: build shared libraries (default)
    testing: provide VTK tests in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/testing
    carbon: build with Carbon
    cocoa: build with Cocoa (default)
    x11: build with X11
    wrap: provide java, py26, & tcl
    java: java wrapper
    py25: python 2.5 wrapper
    py26: python 2.6 wrapper
    tcl: tcl wrapper (MacPorts tcl/tk)
    tcl_apple: tcl wrapper (apple tcl/tk framework)
    database: provide all database variants
    mysql5: build the MySQL driver for vtkSQLDatabase
    pgsql83: build the PostgreSQL 8.3 driver for vtkSQLDatabase
    odbc: build the ODBC database interface
    mpi: use message passing interface (mpich2) for parallel support
    boost: use Boost libraries - www.boost.org
    universal: Build for multiple architectures


Regards,
Darren
