[vtkusers] Test if point is in- or outside a surface-body

[Bryn Lloyd]

Hi Dominik,

Axel recently explained to me, that it is more robust to cut the surface 
with a plane (which passes through the point), and then test 
"insidedness" in this plane, i.e. using a simpler but more robust 
inside-polygon test. I have not tried but thought you might be interested.

Cheers
Bryn
