[vtkusers] Installing VTK librairy (Windows) and use it

[Katarzyna Boronska]

Go to the Control Panel -> system properties -> advanced -> environment 
variables and set
TCLLIBPATH {c:/programs/vtk/vtk44/Wrapping/tcl}
VTK_DATA_ROOT C:/programs/vtk
where c:/programs/vtk/vtk44/Wrapping/tcl means the directory where is 
the pkgIndex.tcl  file
and C:\programs\vtk means the directory where is the directory Data with 
the example data.

You can also run vtk.exe cone.tcl, it should not complain about finding 
vtk package, but I think the Tcl/Tk  possibilities are there reduced.

The {} are necessary, I think. And don't use backslashes in TCLLIBPATH. 
Btw,  don't get used to using "Program Files" or any path containing 
spaces when installing any multi-platform tools.
