which version of tvtk (mayavi2) do you need? we have 4.3.1-4.1 on debian sid/stretch atm

[oesteban]

What version of vtk is installed? (<6.0 I assume). Since 6.0, VTK stopped using set_input in favor of set_input_data and set_input_port (or similar). Then, tvtk is compiled depending on VTK version.

I will add a detection of VTK version major.
