[vtkusers] Error Generating vtkGLSLShaderLibrary.h

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

You may need to set the windows PATH to include C:\MinGW\bin and
C:\msys\1.0\bin. I am not too familiar with eclipse but it may have
some way of specifying environment variables for building.
Alternatively, try firing off eclipse from a shell where the PATH is
set to include the two dirs.
