[vtkusers] vtkKitware...cxx classes in latest CVS

[Jon Blower]

Hi Amy,

Does this mean that those classes are no longer patented?

Hi Jon,

vtkKitwareContourFilter and vtkKitwareCutter were intentionally removed
from the build, and their functionality was incorporated into
vtkContourFilter and vtkCutter, respectively.  This happened when
vtkSynchronizedTemplates2D and vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D were moved from
Patented to Graphics on March 31.
