[vtkusers] Problem Compiling VTK-4.4 With Cmake-Borland

[William A. Hoffman]

There is something wrong with your borland compiler installation.
If you see the nightly dashboard, there are several builds of
VTK that are tested with the borland compiler each night:

http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Dashboard/20040716-0300-Nightly/Dashboard.html

Win32-bcc
Win32-bcc5.5

None of those are doing python wrapping, but I just gave it a try on
my machine, and it goes right past the vtkWrapPython.exe compile:

Please read the readme.txt that comes with borland 5.5 ,
make sure you create these files:
bin/bcc32.cfg  bin/ilink32.cfg
