[vtkusers] CMake/Linking Issues VTK 6.1.0

[Christopher Mullins]

Have you checked out the wiki page for configuring and building [1] ?  It
was written for VTK 6.1.0.

Could you post which step you're trying to accomplish, and the errors you
receive?  I think this will help us diagnose what's happening.
