[vtkusers] Compiling VTK with Mingw64 ?

[Ashika Umanga Umagiliya]

Hi Christian ,

We need to stick to that specific Mingw64 build
("mingw-w64-bin_x86_64-mingw_20101002_4.5_sezero") because thats the
only build which successfully compiles other libraries needed for our
application - QT and OpenCV.
I will try using your patch .

thank you
