[vtkusers] compiling vtk 4.2 on os x 10.4.3

[Mike Jackson]

I can't urge you enough to use VTK 5.x from CVS and NOT the 4.x  
series. I tried for WEEKS to get get 4.2 compiled and never really  
got it to work well. VTK 5.x compiled first time out, at least the  
Cocoa version did. I did not try the Carbon, X11, or any of the  
bindings like java or python.

  If you have a project that you are working on with some one else  
and they are using the 4.x series and can not move to the 5.x series  
then you are in for a long haul getting this to compile.

Good Luck.
