We also have this need.

>From what I've found out, the only way to do Boolean operations is through
implicit function of vtk primitives.

Boolean on any polydata dataset as such is not available.
If someone can prove me wrong, I would be extremely happy !

Take a look at the icecream example in the vtk books. (related to
vtkImplicitBoolean)
