[vtk-developers] Pending release... (precompiled headers)

[Will Schroeder]

Hi Folks-

I'd suggest NOT doing this. I am resisting the tendency to add more 
"specialized code" relating to OS or compiler. This sort of code has a 
tendency to get out of hand very quickly, and soon the code doesn't look 
like C++ any more. Simple is good, clean is good.
