change to 'const float planes[24]' so that this method can be wrapped.

add another method as well,

float *vtkCamera->GetFrustrumPlanes(float aspec)

and at a hint to the hints file, then in tcl people should be able to do

vtkPlanes SetFrustumPlanes aspect [vtkCamera GetFrustumPlanes aspect]

There is the option of not implementing the
   SetClippingPlanes(vtkPlanes)
method in vtkAbstractMapper at all. AFAIK, the preferred for setting
clipping planes is
   vtkSetObjectMacro(ClippingPlanes,vtkPlaneCollection);
At least this would allow you to commit your changes.
