[vtkusers] vtk x64, please help

[Shakes]

Hi Alan,

Use the built-in Console that comes with the SDK. Then use the setenv 
command to select build type (like "setenv \release \x64"). The color 
changes if in Release or Debug mode.

Then run cmake from that command line. It should detect and run cl 
properly. I have used this method for Vista x64 Ultimate and VTK 5.2.1 
successfully in the past.

HTH
Cheers
