I patched the Windows issues up. The module specific export macros,
such as VTKRENDERINGOPENGL_EXPORT, should be preferred for normal API.
This is different, as it is an implementation where only export is
necessary (no import as is the case for API). It would not hurt to use
the module specific export macro, but it is perhaps clearer to use
VTK_EXPORT in special cases like this.

I missed the filter move that didn't make the necessary export macro
change, that is fixed now. We will look over the dashboards as some
fairly large changes went in.
