[vtkusers] Mac OS X port?

[Yves Starreveld]

Hi, James,

It works pretty well on osx from C++, Python and tcl.

Problems currently: tkinter does not work, so more complex UI things are 
out. Tcl and Tk on OSX are in a state of flux, and I don't think 
building of extensions works properly yet.

Also, keyboard events are not being trapped by the 
renderwindowinteractor, and text is not working right.

Anyone who wishes to add these things is heartily encouraged to do so.

You need the latest CMake and VTK from cvs.

Set CMakeCache.txt to shared, and specify -framework Cocoa -framework 
OpenGL for the OpenGL Library location, and all should build fine. Copy 
the libs to your /usr/local/lib or add your bin directory to the 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and all should work.
