[vtkusers] running examples on vtk

[David Cole]

To run an example, find it's executable in the vtkbin/Release/bin folder (or
*/Debug/bin) and run it.

To build an example project separately, run CMake against it's
CMakeLists.txt file and set VTK_DIR to "C:/myprojects/vtkbin" when
configuring. Then open up that generated dsw file and build it in Visual
Studio.


HTH,
David
