[vtkusers] Error compilling with mingw

[David Cole]

This has been fixed in the main trunk of CVS VTK and also in the VTK-5-0
branch. If you pull the source tree for VTK from CVS, it should be fixed.
Alternatively, you can simply edit vtkPythonUtil.cxx and change the "char *"
to "const char *" on line 771...

Hope this helps,
David Cole
