[vtkusers] Problem with VP500 on vtk4.5 - render window blank

[Lisa Avila]

Hello John,

There is no error message if you create a vtkVolumeProMapper - that always 
works but does not produce any results unless one of the subclasses is 
compiled. When you use a VolumePro mapper you should always check the 
NoHardware, WrongVLIVersion, and NumberOfBoards ivars to see if everything 
is OK for rendering.

This class was removed because the hardware and drivers are quite old now, 
and we cannot continue to test this class.  Perhaps this was announced on 
the developer's list, I'm not sure.

Lisa
