[vtkusers] Is vtkDistributedDataFilter put in the libvtkParallel.so library?

[Jeremy Stout]

Hello, MPI is installed and that particular switch was turned on when
I was compiling VTK.  I've been able to compile and link other
programs that use MPI specific vtk classes (such as vtkMPIController
and vtkMPICommunicator) without any problems.
