[vtkusers] Link errors on Win2000

[Andrew J. P. Maclean]

You need to include the lib files - the linker needs to know what they
are.
Go to properties, find the linker property page and find the Input
Section. Put the names of the lib files in there e.g :
vtkCommon.lib vtkFiltering.lib vtkGraphics.lib vtkHybrid.lib
vtkImaging.lib vtkIO.lib vtkjpeg.lib vtkpng.lib vtkRendering.lib
vtkzlib.lib

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
