[vtkusers] Link errors on Win2000

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Jon,
	You have two options:

- Use CMake (go to http://cmake.org)
- Read the manual from Rasmus Paulsen (http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~rrp/) 
title: "Installing VTK 4.1.x on a Windows PC"

Good luck
mathieu
Ps: Eventhough it was written for VTK 4.1.x it is still accurate for VTK 
4.2
