[vtk-developers] Major failure

[David Gobbi]

Hi John,

Just last night (for us folks in the Toronto/New York timezone) I found &
fixed the inconsistancies in VTK_LEGACY_CODE between the .cxx and .h
files (including the vtkAssembly one you note below).  So you might want
to download and try again.

Fortunately for me, my code survived the slew of recent changes
to VTK with only a couple minor changes related to GetMatrixPointer()
and internal imaging pipeline stuff.

 - David
