[vtkusers] clipping 2D polygon with another 2D polygon

[Cory Quammen]

Even if you could use 5.10, the vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter
class doesn't support 2D boolean operations. It wouldn't be impossible
to add, but there are no plans yet that I know of to support this.

I should really add a note about this limitation to the documentation...
