[vtkusers] what is vtkstd

[Sean McInerney]

Emmanuel,

   You cannot expect to be able to mix and match VTK classes across 
versions. If you *really* need to stick with the 4.2 release while 
attempting to evaluate fixes to the EnSightReader made later, you could 
*attempt* simply removing the 'vtkstd/' prefix and adding '# define 
vtkstd std' in the implementation (.cxx) file (if your system's STL is 
good) ... but this is ugly hackery and I suggest moving to VTK 4.4.

Mathieu,

   I may be incorrect since I cannot remember the source of this idea, 
but I thought having a path component in preprocessor inclusions was a 
portability no-no. The various ways of expressing path names among 
systems would seem to warrant some concern ... no? Does it test properly 
with all configurations supported by CMake / VTK? If so, rock on!

-Sean

P.S. What's the story with the related thread regarding a huge 
performance decline on OSX when moving from 4.2 to 4.4?
