[vtkusers] VTK cvs compile errors - reserved words near & far

[Francois Bertel]

Hello,

I don't where you found those near and far things in
vtkShadowMapPass.*. There is no such thing. In addition,
vtkShadowMapPass is part of vtkRendering package which is built every
night on Windows and I never saw such error reported on the VTK
dashboard.

Are sure about the name of the file you are talking about?
