UPDATE: VTK-4.2.6 Hybrid classes, X11 support

[cssdev@…]

The attach patch updates the VTK 4.2.6 Portfile to include VTK's Hybrid classes as well as an option to use X11 windowing. The hybrid classes include a number of useful extra features. Including them does add to the build time, but it's probably better to include them rather than breaking them into a variant build.

Due to the bundling requires for applications using Cocoa windowing, it can be very useful to have X11 support available. Ideally, one might want to choose Carbon, Cocoa, or X11 windowing, but I haven't seen any requests for that kind of flexibility yet. X11 support is important for working properly with code brought from other platforms.

I also modified the configuration process. The Portfile now defines the custom CMake settings *before* starting the configuration process. Previously, it simply patched the resulting cache. This new approach ensures that the variables are correctly set for CMake throughout the configuration step.

This was a known problem with some older versions. I might have my local sources mixed up, as this particular error results from a gcc 3 work-around that is no longer needed for gcc 4. ​http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2005-June/080182.html

I need to include the patches that remove the offending lines from several additional source files.
