[vtkusers] PyQt SIP wrapping test fails

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Clinton,

Thanks for trying it out. I did the "it never works, but I might as well try" stab at rebuilding with an updated Qt, Sip, PyQt, CMake & VTK last Friday and now it works again for whatever reason... 

(Qt 4.7.3, sip 4.12.4, PyQt 4.8.5, CMake dev head, VTK dev head)

-Eric
