[vtkusers] Install QVTKWidget into Qt Designer/Toolbox

[Clinton Stimpson]

It needs to match the build type of the designer, which is typically  
release.
Have you tried the Help -> About Plugins dialog in the Designer to  
check for errors?
If its not in the list, you didn't put the dll in the right place.  If  
there is an error loading it, it gives you the error.

Also, it doesn't matter if VTK is shared libs or not.  Only the .dll  
needs to be copied to the plugins/designer directory.
It shows up in the toolbox under "QVTK"
