[vtkusers] cannot build vtk with mfc with windows 7

[Bill Lorensen]

Try changing that line from:
extern char *sys_errlist[];
to
extern char **sys_errlist;

or better yet,

add
#include <stdlib.h>right before the strerror definition and remove
extern int sys_nerr;
extern char *sys_errlist[];

I think these declarations should be obtained from the include file
and not specified here.
