[vtk-developers] Removed windows.h from VTK headers.

Well I do mean that it is only included where windows is actually needed 
(thus fast compiles). The fix you've made for speedier compilation is 
great, but instead of defining lots of mapped versions of vtk functions, 
simply undef the windows ones that cause trouble.  When a user finds his 
code not working, he includes the redeffed include file and hey presto 
it works again. How many people call GetClassname on a vtk object and 
also the windows API in the same file?
