[vtkusers] upgrade vtk from vtk 5.0 to 5.8

[Gishara Indeewarie]

Thanks for the reply David. It is somewhat a large and old (MFC) project
and I want to add some new vtk features.
I want to use vtk 5.8 there.
I found a place where vtk have been used in the code as below:

template<typename V,typename T> vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk_std_data(const T&
data)
{
vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk; vtk.TakeReference(V::New());
if( data.begin()!=data.end() )
std::copy(data.begin(),data.end(),vtk->WritePointer(0,data.size()));
return vtk;
}

template<typename V> vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk_data(vtkDataArray* data)
{
vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk; vtk.TakeReference(V::New());
    vtk->SetData(data);
return vtk;
}

template<typename V> vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk_data_set(vtkPoints* data)
{
vtkSmartPointer<V> vtk; vtk.TakeReference(V::New());
    vtk->SetPoints(data);
return vtk;
}

Thanks again.
