[vtk-developers] VTK without vtksys

[David Gobbi]

Hi Adam,

It's not a crazy notion.  Even though kwsys has lots of Windows API calls,
finding them all is straightforward (they're all marked with #if's) and
adding another #if clause for UWP calls shouldn't be difficult.  I know
nothing about UWP, however, I'm just working on the assumption that, as far
as the generic system calls in kwsys goes, it mirrors the old Windows API
fairly closely.
