[vtk-developers] deprecated CRT routines in MSVS8

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Goodwin,

Well, let see, that is almost exactly what I said....

Anyway, I like this solution better, since most people will not want to
see the 1981638939 warnings every time they compile their favorite
project. Looks like boost people as well as wxWidgets people are going
similar route.
