[vtkusers] Vtk programming on Mac OS X with Xcode

[Mike Jackson]

Not sure but building VTK as a Universal Binary can be tricky  
sometimes. Are you sure you actually created a Universal Binary VTK  
build? you can use the 'file' command at the command line to see if  
your built vtk libraries are truly universal. When Xcode builds in  
debug mode it will only build for the Architecture that Xcode is  
running on. So if you are running on an Intel OS X machine, then the  
PPC code will NOT be built during a Debug build.
