[vtk-developers] NULL always returned from vtkPolyDataMapper::New()

[Kyle Lutz]

That was the link I needed!

This was the wiki page I was going off of:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide and I didn't see
anything about CMake/compiling/linking changes. I think adding that
link to the list would be very helpful. Perhaps break the list into
sections like C++ code changes, Python code changes, Build system
changes, etc..

Thanks,
Kyle
