[vtkusers] VolumePro support in VTK 5.0.0

[Lisa Avila]

Hi Kent,

VTK does not support VolumePro in VTK 5.0 (those classes should have been 
removed).

We have not been keeping up-to-date with the changes in vli and therefore 
it is likely that the classes (as exist in the repository) will not work 
with newer version of vli (although I suspect the changes are fairly minimal).
