[vtkusers] merge Filters

[Dominik Szczerba]

In vtkDataArray family there is a method SetArray (or SetData, don't 
remember) that takes over the pointer to existing buffer. This is 
probably what you want here. Still there is an issue with the ordering 
(row- or column-wise) - you will have to conform to VTK's row-major style.
