Hi James,

I believe C++ Builder is not supported. However even if that is the case 
it is easy to fix the various compilation errors for C++ Builder 2010 
and VTK 5.8.

However XE and XE2 C++ support regressed (!) and I do not know whether 
it is easy or not to fix the errors for those versions. XE3 I believe 
has fixed some of those bugs and so may be back to 2010 standards of C++ 
support but I'll only be trying it out in a few months time (once 
various third-party packages have XE3 support).

XE3.5 or whatever it will be called will also have a clang based 64bit 
compiler which obviously will be much more C++ compliant.

Cheers,
Jon
