[vtkusers] compiling issues

[Michael Jackson]

Actually,
   If you just add the new files to the CMakeLists.txt then go back to  
the Visual Studio Solution and "build" the cmake integration will  
figure out that things have changed, re-run cmake, re-generate the  
solution file and finally rebuild. So it is actually easier than it  
really sounds.
