[vtkusers] Use VTK as geometry kernel

[David E DeMarle]

I can't answer that definitively, as I don't know the scope of what
your code needs to do.

I can say that in VTK 6 there will be much less library overhead than
there is now. VTK 6's modular structure makes it so that if you only
want to use vtk's data structures you can configure and build a
version of VTK that includes little more than the data structures
themselves.
