[vtkusers] VTK Builds on Cygwin

[William A. Hoffman]

I mean gcc compiler.   If you add the flags -mno-cygwin to the build,
it will use the native Microsoft libraries and not cygwin.dll, so no
GPL problems.   I have only tried the c++ part, but Mumit did the tcl build.

I might be wrong, but I guess you have to link VTK  against libraries that have been built for Cygwin, am I right ? I know that Tcl/Tk is bundled with Cygwin, but what about Python & Java ?
