[vtkusers] Include files

[Gib Bogle]

Hi John and David,

I'm not using Cmake.  Possibly I could be, but by default the IDE Qt supplies, 
Qt Creator, uses .pro files, from which qmake creates the makefiles.  The .pro 
project files are very simple (Qt Creator takes care of a lot of the ugly 
details), and I'm quite keen to use Qt Creator for my Qt stuff.  I've looked at 
a couple of CMakeLists.txt files, and the complexity is a bit daunting.  Do you 
advocate using Cmake?

Cheers
Gib
