[vtkusers] Linking static VTK to simple Qt app

Hi Gib,
The link line is missing the VTK utility libraries. All of the needed
libraries will be listed in the VTKLibraryDepends.cmake file in the
VTK compile directory (though the file is written for CMake, so it
isn't very easy to read...). You will definitely need this:
-lvtksys
and probably these:
-lvtkfreetype -lvtkexpat -lvtkzlib
and maybe these, plus others:
-lvtkmetaio -lvtkpng -vtkjpeg -lvtktiff -lvtkexpat
The compiler might also be picky about the order in which the
libraries are listed on the command line.
