-From: Kai Wasserbäch <debian@carbon-project.org>
-Description: FindVTK.cmake missed a case which lead to NOT-FOUND errors.
- FindVTK.cmake didn't handle the VTK 5.x case when trying to find VTK. This
- caused CMake to error out with a misleading error message VTK_DIR not set.
- This patch adds the missing case.
