[vtkusers] Mac os x: succcess, but...

[Mike Robertson]

Hmm. I'll get this to work. I'm running in the X11 environment, not in
quartz... (perhaps open denial here, but... optimism always works out)

New error. I set the PYTHONPATH to /usr/local/vtk/VTK/Wrapping/Python/, but
a lot of libraries are actually in /usr/local/bin/ (*.so). What should I do
here? Just make some hard links, or set another env?

Thanks.
