[vtkusers] Performing Test Support for 64 bit file systems: Failed

[David Partyka]

Hi Bryn,

S_ISREG is a POSIX macro and will likely never compile with Visual Studio.
The output from cmake is for system introspection so that the build system
knows what resources the compiler tool chain has available. This test simply
is looking for specific POSIX functionality and more likely shouldn't even
be run when building with Visual Studio.

It should be safe to ignore this message when using Visual Studio unless it
is causing some other issue?
