[vtkusers] VTK & Qt 4.4.3 on Mac

[Michael Jackson]

I would suggest starting with a clean build directory. VTK 5.2 is  
known to build without problems on OS X 10.5 and 10.4 using the latest  
Xcode distributions for each OS. The only thing you should have to  
change is the VTK_USE_CARBON to ON and the VTK_USE_COCOA to OFF.

Get that to compile. After that successfully compiles then add in the  
VTK_USE_QVTK.
