I have been reading about packaging application that link against VTK talking about RPATH and such.
Some of the article I read is a couple of years old and I am wondering with the recent updates and module-rization of VTK if there are newer write up on that front.
At the moment, I need to set LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH to run my application because not all the dependencies are found

This MR might help (though there are other things that need addressed before it is complete):
