[vtkusers] trouble setting up VTK for Qt creator

[Clinton Stimpson]

You need to use mingw32-gcc.exe and mingw32-g++.exe as your C and CXX 
compiler.

Can you just add C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin to your PATH 
environment variable and then have cmake-gui figure out which compilers and 
make programs to pick from that directory?
