[vtkusers] Removing cells inside solids !

[Malcolm Drummond]

Hi Sebastien

How about creating your own extrusion before tesselation. It would only
involve the creation of quads (one per line segment) describing the 'wall'
around your polygons. You could then cap the top and bottom with tesselated
polygons
