Yes, assuming that VTK_LIB is a standard environment variable set by
people who use VTK.  I'm not familiar enough with VTK to know; when I
wrote that configure test I just picked something random.

We should probably at least change that configure variable to
LIBMESH_VTK_LIB and check to see if the user already has set something
for VTK_LIB (or whatever the standard one may be.)
