The standard itk object's "PrintSelf" method has changed to be a
"const" method recently.  The Mesh::PrintSelf method has been updated, but
it looks like the PointSet::PrintSelf method has not.  Look at
itkPointSet.h, and change the line
  void PrintSelf(std::ostream& os, Indent indent);
to
  virtual void PrintSelf(std::ostream& os, Indent indent) const;

That should fix the problem.  If so, go ahead and check in that
change.  If not, let me know and I will look into this in more detail.
