[vtkusers] Compile VTK+QT for release

[Alex Southern]

Ok, my vtk/bin folder (which I know is configured correctly as 
everything is ok on my machine) does not contain *.dll, only *.lib. (and 
some demo *.exe).

It looks like you have the dynamic VTK installation (hence dll) and I 
have the static installation.

As I understand it, my static installation should mean that the revelant 
code from the library is included directly in the final executable and 
hence missing VTK libraries are not an issue here.

Does anyone disagree with me on this?

Cheers
Alex
