[vtkusers] Change to vtkImageViewer

Hello Folk,

I'd like to modify vtkImageViewer. Currently vtkImageViewer uses a
vtkImageWindow and vtkImager which are very similar to vtkRenderWindow
and vtkRenderer. I'd like to modify vtkImageViewer to use
vtkRenderWindow and vtkRenderer instead of vtkImageWindow and
vtkImager. vtkImageWindow and vtkImager would eventually be
deprecated. Effects..

1) image windows would default to double buffered on UNIX, now they
are single on UNIX double on Win32

2) The GetImager and GetImageWindow methods on ImageViewer would be
deprecated with messages indicating to use GetRenderWindow and
GetRenderer

3) Less duplicated code, better support since everything will be using
RenderWindow

Comments?

Thanks
Ken
