[vtkusers] Autorelease pool issue with vtkCocoaRenderWindowInteractor

[Corrie Allen]

Hi David & VTKers,
At the time my program runs, __OBJC_GC__ is undefined and I can't find  
anywhere in my project, the VTK build, or my environment setting where  
it is either defined  (or undefined).  So, if the definition isn't  
hiding away somewhere, my understanding of it is that the  
PoolOfLastResort "hack" should be setting up a pool that can be  
subsequently autoreleased during Cocoa operations.   I guess I need to  
now dig into the workings of CMake so as to understand what Sean is  
doing with his RogueResearch builds.  Any further suggestions (Like  
Hey Corrie, buy the Cmake book!) will certainly be appreciated.
