[vtkusers] Python 2.1 thingy

[David Gobbi]

VTK will work with any version of python, but you will have to
re-compile VTK.  This is straightforward on a UNIX system,
but on Windows you must do a little bit of tweaking.

On Windows, VTK has a batch of tcl/tk internal headers in the
pcmaker/xlib directory.  After you replace these with ones from
the tcl/tk 8.3 source, you will be able to build VTK with
Python 2.1.  You might also be able to simply point pcmaker.exe
at the tcl/tk 8.3 source code, but I haven't tried.

The VTK pre-4.0 Windows installer will provide a Python 2.1
interface, until then re-compilation is probably your only
option.
