[vtkusers] Change to vtkImageViewer

[David Gobbi]

Hi Ken,

I'm all for this.  There is one important point you missed: after
you make this change, people will be able to use the Interactors
with the vtkImageViewer.  Right now none of the interactors is really
suitable for image manipulation, but I'm sure that someone will
eventually make one that is.

Great stuff!  I've been waiting for this.

 - David
