[vtkusers] Compiling errors 'conio.h', cygwin

Tue Apr 5 16:13:47 EDT 2011

VTK_USE_BOOST is a cmake setting that you can set to enable building
features that use boost. I do have the cygwin boost package installed and
was able to successfully compile VTK from the git repository. To access it
see this wiki.
