[vtkusers] [vtk-developers] Can we drop Visual Studio 6 support?

[Philippe P. Pebay]

No, unfortunately it does not. It appends another string.
On the other hand, push_back() allows for the addition of one character at a time. There is therefore less overhead. 
This matters when serializing multiple packets prior to MPI communication.
VS 6.0 does not support push_back(). And as I only figured out this morning, it does not support clear() either. This is 
annoying.
