[vtkusers] vtk42 using with Borland 5 builder

[Wienand Drenth]

Hello Mario, Davin and Dean,

It works! I "just" re-configured the building with Cmake, without the 
shared libs and did make again. And amazingly, the test programs worked!
So now everything is running I can look for some serious work with vtk!

Thanks all for the help!!

Cheers,
Wienand
