[vtkusers] [VTK 5.0.3, CMake 2.4 P7, Parallels 3.0 emul. XP Pro 2002 SP2, cl cmplr furnished w/ MSVC++ XprssEd. 8.0] missing user32.lib

[David.Goldsmith]

No, I hadn't even done Step 3, actually, 'cause when earlier I tried the 
link, it was reported as broken (I was going to reply to this effect, 
but I lost my connection, lost my draft, found the SDK otherwise, and 
thought that would be sufficient) but, inexplicably, now it works (the 
link that is) from both emails, so I'll go ahead and follow its 
instructions and see where that gets me.
