[vtkusers] problem compiling VTK 5.10.0 rc2 on a Mac

[David Gobbi]

I tested this a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly.  I started a
fresh build with 5.10rc2 just to be sure.

CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/c++
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=i386
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET:STRING=10.5
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT:PATH=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
CMAKE_USE_CARBON:BOOL=ON

This is gcc 4.2.1, xcode 3.2.6.  It should also be possible to build
with gcc 4.0, though I haven't tried since VTK 5.8.
