[vtkusers] Porting to VTK 5

[Cory Quammen]

Joel,

I don't know of a specific porting guide. Perhaps the new books for
VTK 5 have a guide for porting from 4.5.

If you haven't tried it already, you might just try to recompile and
run your applications. I've developed an application in VTK 4.2 and
upgraded to 5.0. It required only a single change to eliminate a
depreciated class method. You might be as lucky.

If you have a few specific compiler/runtime errors/warnings, the list
could probably answer them. You might document what you find at the
VTK FAQ wiki at http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ.
