[vtkusers] VC5 and Nightly?

[David Gobbi]

The only workarounds for this bug in VC5 would involve either
1) eliminating 'const' from the methods 
2) eliminating 'const' from the templates, and casting from
   const to non-const when the methods call the templates

The latter is a possibility (though pretty ugly) if enough people
think that compatibility with a non-patched VC5 is important.
The former is not a possibility, because the wrappers use the
'const' to decide whether or not to wrap methods that have
array arguments.
