There are several DLL's using the 'one' that links to the vtk libs (I 
call it vtk-wrapper-lib below).
Hiearchy is something like this (may look weird depending on the font):

              application
            /                \
       DLL-A            DLL-B
           \                     /
          VTK-wrapper-lib
                    |
          vtk static libs


If the VTK wrapper lib is built as a static lib everything seem to work 
fine.
If I build it as a shared library, on the other hand, the vtkFollowers 
don't work properly.
I also built all vtk libs as shared libs(dlls), but that does not seem 
to change anything.
