[vtkusers] OSX 10.6 TCL issue "libvtkRendering.5.4.dylib: GC capability mismatch" ( solution too )

[David Gobbi]

For OS X 10.6, set CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES to x86_64 and do a Cocoa
build.  This will match the Snow Leopard "wish", which is
Cocoa/x86_64.  This only works for cvs VTK... my fixes to the
vtkTkRenderRenderWidget to get it working with Cocoa are fairly
recent.
