[vtkusers] Compiling VTK with free MSVC++ download

[Patric Weis]

Hi David,

There is a thread on the user's list of the wxWidgets community:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?8:mss:58804:eddcndpfficaohoamjdo

They had the same problems building their libraries and found a
solution. Maybe this could help.
