[vtk-developers] [vtkusers] Removing support for VS 8 and GCC < 4.1

[Casey Goodlett]

I have recently used visual studio 2005 which would be dropped by this.

Is it possible to add a check in the CMakeLists.txt to provide a warning or
error if I try to use an unsupported MSVC with VTK 6.3?  That way, if I
forget about this change, there will be a clear error message instead of
something broken due to the removed workarounds.

Apologies if thats already in the patch, and I missed it.

Thank you
