Fabrice Bellet has a pretty nice spec file for VTK 5.  If you guys 
haven't seen it yet, it might be a good place to start from.

The SRPM is 
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/fedora/5/SRPMS/vtk-5.0.0-6.src.rpm

It builds pretty happily in mock, has several subpackages for python, 
etc, and in general seems to work pretty well for me on FC5.

I'd love to see VTK in extras, so if there's anything I can do to help, 
please let me know.
