[CMake] How to create a 64-bit Windows build of cmake?

[John R. Cary]

Thanks for your response.  This will definitely decrease my headpain.

It turns out that I need vtk-5.0.0, but right now I am not sure
that I need the wrapping code.  Am checking on this.

Would it make sense to just not call vtkLoadCMakeExtensions.cmake?

Thx....John Cary
