[vtkusers] VTK compile errors

[Michael Jackson]

I would try it with a "released" and "supported" visual studio  
installation, like VS 2008.

  Lots of people (including myself) build VTK on Windows all the time  
with shared libraries so it is known to work. Not sure how many people  
are trying VS 2010 though.
