[vtkusers] VTK 4.0 build on Linux using OpenGL

VTK 4.0 does not build with configure, but rather cmake.  I am not sure
what you mean by --with-opengl --with-shared, as those flags are not
used with VTK 4.0.   The cvs root to VTK 4.0 is:

pserver:user at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK

(Note the case on the VTK)
