Bug#810254: VTK7 ... VTK8?

Hi everyone, I did some work on this in the last few days and I got to something. As requested, it's all committed to the vtk6 repo (and also available from [1]). As far as I can tell, it's all in good order. I'm already running a bunch of applications against it with no nasty surprises so far.

Alright, so I've spend last night packaging VTK7 (nightly master) [1]. It's basically a clone of the vtk6 package with a bunch of fixes. Will have to be tested some more, but for certain it's already a better-than-nothing. Comments and PRs are more than welcome; the code is on GitHub [2].
