Description
Added the option to build VTK with QT4, which is needed by VisIt, a port I am in the process of creating and submitting.
For discussion: should qt4 or qt5 be a default variant?
Also: I have not tested the qt5 variant, but it doesn't look like it should work, since VTK needs configuration environment variables when configuring it to work with qt5. See: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Configure_and_Build#Qt5..2A

It does warn about vtk violating /opt/local/plugins, but I'm very not sure what that means. I think that's where the plugins are supposed to go, but Macports doesn't know about the ${prefix}/plugins convention so it complains?

If you add Qt support via variants, they typically need to be mutually exclusive, and this port is no exception from what I can see.

Replying to joelfred@…:

That plugin directory contains the QVTKWidgetPlugin designer plugin. To be installed correctly, -DVTK_INSTALL_QT_DIR:PATH=${qt_plugins_dir}/designer must be added to the configure arguments.
Edit: that must be a relative path, sadly, so it must be -DVTK_INSTALL_QT_DIR:PATH=share/qtN/plugins/designer (with qtN either qt4 or qt5).

Promised, I'll be stopping now :)
The last patch version replaces the Qt variants with Qt subports. For now all subports (vtk, vtk-qt4 and vtk-qt5) are all mutually exclusive, I don't know if it can even be otherwise. The advantage of using Qt subports is that dependents can specify the Qt version they require. With variants that would not be possible.
