[vtkusers] VTK Wrapping Problems (once again)

[David Cole]

One of the assumptions in VTK wrapping is that the class name is the same as
the header file name and that there is only the one class in the header
file.

If you want both classes wrapped, each should be in its own header file of
the same name.
