[Paraview] which VTK

[Dominik Szczerba]

Hello,

I once have asked this question, but didint get an answer. I didnt 
conclude much from the Wiki pages either: what is the reason Paraview 
uses its own VTK version?

1) Which version is it (CVS?) and what/why modifications are made to it?

2) I use both VTK (from C/C++) and Paraview (stand-alone) and I see 
little sense in compiling VTK twice. If the Paraview's versions is 
newer, which one is it / what are the differences to the official 
version? If the official VTK version is OK to use to compile Paraview, 
how can I disable redundant compilation and reuse VTK available on my 
system?

thank you and regards,
Dominik
