[vtkusers] Can VTK be used with Codegear XE4 compilers???

[David Gobbi]

I have zero familiarity with bcc, but stripping the error log to its
essentials, the following command was called:

bcc32.exe -tR -ecmTryCompileExec2564975305.exe @MAKE0002.@@@

It failed because it ran into this option:

LC:\Programs\Embarcadero\RADStudio\11.0\lib

Maybe bcc requires a space after the "L". I don't see the "-L" option
on the command line, so it must be inside the response file MAKE0002.
So if you could send the contents of that file, someone who has
experience with bcc can check to make sure the options are legal.
