[vtkusers] visual studio 2008 and v6.0a sdk missing glaux.h

[Jon W]

Francois,

Thank you for committing the fix for 5.x.  Do you know what changes
may work best for vtk 4.2.6?

There isn't a vtkOpenGL.h or vtkWindows.h in the 4.2.6 source base,
and the code in vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx looks like:

#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined (__BORLANDC__)
#include <GL/glaux.h>
#else
#include <GL/gl.h>
#endif

If this is too much of a pain to look at 4.2.6, then I can look into
upgrading to 5.x.

-Jon
