[vtkusers] FW: vtkPLOT3DReader changes

[Will Schroeder]

Hi Chris-

It should be compatible. Note one thing: often times the PLOT3D data files 
are technically not correct...they have extra junk at the end of the file. 
This messes up the sanity checking in the reader and it thinks the file is 
bad. I believe that there is a ForceRead flag that gets around this.
