[vtkusers] Help compiling on Mac PPC with OS X

[Glen Lehmann]

Hello John,

I'm assuming that you're using OS X Panther?  With the X11 option 
installed?

You need to use the cvs version of CMake and VTK then, if you want to 
build against X, make sure that Carbon and Cocoa are turned off.

HTH,
Glen
