[vtkusers] VTK 4.0 on SGI IRIX

[Boyd Merworth]

Hi Prabhu,

Thank you very much for this tip about the shared libraries.  I was building
static libraries, which seem to be build by default:

	//Build VTK with shared libraries.
	BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF

I changed this to "ON", rebuilt and reinstalled the VTK code and so far,
I have been able to run Cone.py in the Exapmles directory.

--Boyd
