[vtkusers] Error when linking VTK with visual studio 2008

[Dženan Zukić]

You did not link all the required libraries. When creating a project using
CMake, the list of required libraries is automatically determined. When
using plain VS, you need to manually define the libraries, such as
vtkCommon.lib, vtkHybrid.lib, etc
