[vtkusers] Compilation problem using Visual Studio .NET2003 ...

[William A. Hoffman]

It is the difference between static and shared libraries.
Shared libraries link to each other, and are self contained.
Static libraries must be explicitly listed.  CMake maintains the
correct list of dependant libraries so that things will work for
static or shared.
