[vtkusers] VTK static link with Qt app on Mac OS X

[Clinton Stimpson]

Qt 4.5 and later support both Cocoa and Carbon.  You have to pick one 
when configuring (the default is still Carbon).

That VTK even built without problems indicates Qt and VTK configured 
correctly.

Gib, you just need to add "-framework Carbon" to your link command.
