[vtkusers] About vtkPLYReader

[Jérôme]

Hi,
by reading the header of your file and the code in VTK/IO/vtkPLY.cxx, the
problem is:
   - the header declare the faces list as:  "property list uint8 uint32
vertex_indices"
   - vtkPLY does not handle uint32 type, but only uint.

Changing the line to "property list uint8 uint vertex_indices" makes the
file loadable in ParaView-3.11.1 and is still loadable in Blender-2.5.

I didn't investigate the responsibilities : maybe MITK wrote a file with an
unexpected uint32 regarding the specification or VTK lacks a check of this
type in its PLY parser.
