[vtkusers] Problems with vtk and matlab

[Dominik Szczerba]

Yes, the first thing I would try is the older version of gcc. If you are on 
linux this is trivial, just make sure the older version is installed in the 
system (easy on most platforms) and edit the mex configuration script to 
replace gcc / g++ with things like gcc-4.0 or so.
On Windows I have no idea, but can not imagine this is not possible.
Note, this limitation comes from Matlab.
