[vtkusers] iostreams under VC++ 6.0 / VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB

MS VC++ 6 allows developers to use either version of 
their iostream libraries: 
 
#include <iostream>    --> links in Std C++ iostreams
#include <iostream.h>  --> links in "legacy" iostreams 
 
Simple solution is to use the iostream that matches the 
version used to build your version of the Vtk libs: 
 
 if (VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB == 1) then #include <iostream> 
 if (VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB == 0) then #include <iostream.h>
