[vtkusers] The difference between GetOutputPort and GetOutput?

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi BoShi,

The change from SetInput to SetInputConnection and from GetOutput to 
GetOutputPort is a result of the reworking of VTK pipeline 
architecture. Take a look at 
VTK/Utilities/Upgrading/TheNewVTKPipeline.pdf for further explanation.
