[vtkusers] Installing an application that uses VTK

[Michael Jackson]

Yes, if you do a static compilation of VTK then you don't have to  
worry about having VTK installed on the client machine. Also what  
versions of OS X are you targeting? If you are on OS X 10.5 and want  
to target 10.4 also then there may be some issues with the compilation  
where you will need to put in some additional compile flags.
