[vtkusers] CMake and VC++ V7

[William A. Hoffman]

If you get the cvs version of CMake there is already a VC7 generator for cmake.
We are planning a new release soon.   For the nmake build, you should turn 
on VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB
to avoid the deprecated stuff.

For building debug and release versions with nmake, the better way to do 
it, is to create two separate
binary trees.   vtk-nmake-debug and vtk-nmake-release, then configure one 
release and one debug.
