That trick will not work on Visual Studio 7.1, which is still a
supported compiler for VTK.  It also breaks the wrappers.

If a VTK class overrides one version of IntersectWithLine, then it
should override all of them.  If need be, you can just define all the
unneeded ones as inline methods that calls the superclass methods.
