[vtkusers] VTK RedHat7.2 test

[Mathieu Malaterre]

If you have python wrapping working:

###########################################
import vtk
from vtk.util.misc import vtkGetDataRoot
VTK_DATA_ROOT = vtkGetDataRoot()

reader = vtk.vtkPolyDataReader()
reader.SetFileName(VTK_DATA_ROOT + "/Data/hello.vtk")
reader.Update()
print reader.GetOutput()
###########################################

Ref:
Examples/Modelling/Python/hello.py

You should find in the bin dir of VTK, tools that ends with
*Tests  (because BUILD_TESTING should be ON by default)

Don't forget to pass '-I' if you want interaction:

	./GraphicsCxxTests Mace -I

Ps: Please not that VTK is a *library* and not an end-user app.
