[vtkusers] dl module

[David Gobbi]

The solution is this:  In __init__.py, look for this:

try:
    import dl
except ImportError:
    dl = None

And change it to this:

try:
    import dl
except ImportError:
    dl = None
except SystemError:
    dl = None

I know this fix works on linux-ia64, so if you can confirm that it also 
works on your linux-x86_64 system then I'll commit it to cvs along with 
some comments about why its there.
