[vtkusers] write dataset in VTK format

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Madhu,

  I found the issue, it would only happen in ASCII:

$ cvs ci -m"ENH: Handle ASCII signed char too. Fix bug for char. Need
to write unsigned char when char type is unsigned" vtkDataWriter.cxx
/cvsroot/VTK/VTK/IO/vtkDataWriter.cxx,v  <--  vtkDataWriter.cxx
new revision: 1.136; previous revision: 1.135

  you should really save your vtkImageData as binary:
1. it will work out of the box for you
2. it will be so much faster
