[vtkusers] [vtkuser] Build error with BCB6

[William A. Hoffman]

 From the Readme.html in VTK:

Link error with borland: TCL82.LIB contains invalid OMF record,
type 0x21 (possibly COFF). You have to convert Tcl libraires
from coff to omf with the Borland utilitiy coff2omf. Once you
have created OMF versions, re-run cmake to tell it where the Borland
versions of Tcl and Tk are located. Also, make sure that you are using
Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
