[vtkusers] vtkDAtaset & pipeline architecture

[Andy Bauer]

What type of data set do you have? Rob's idea should work for unstructured
grids. For structured grids you may want to try vtkPVTrivialProducer
instead since that has stuff for extents in it though that may still be a
bit wonky, especially with the VOI filters.
