Great! I've committed it along with some fixes for OSX, whitespace, external 
hdf5, and mingw-w64:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/9da7a4327c6a0fb5eaef699040b8e05c5e2a6293
https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/feec65f32d7e06f4cf2b2bacebf48bbe41a40767

hdf5 has open issues on 64-bit targets:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2013-01/msg00018.html

and some more of the VTK_USE_SYSTEM_* options need to be set, but otherwise 
this seems ready to go and plays nicely with a side-by-side install of vtk5.

The examples are building successfully here for all three targets with 
"-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON", though I didn't try to build them by hand or execute 
them.

Thanks again, it prompted me to figure out the cmake "TryRun" mechanism so I 
may be able to update the 5 series.

Cheers,
