Hi everyone,
A new CVS commit check has been added to prevent commits of VTK header files
that contain STL includes. Exceptions can be added by contacting myself or
Brad King.

I also want to give a friendly reminder that the VTK coding standards (VTK
has coding standards???) provide guidelines for using STL in VTK and require
that STL not be used in header files. See the following for more information
or feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

VTK Coding Standards:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Coding_Standards

VTK FAQ regarding STL
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ#Can_I_use_STL_with_VTK.3F

Also please report any problems/bugs with the new commit check to myself or
Brad King.

Thanks very much!
