[vtkusers] How to remove vtk's dependencies on libX11 and libGL?

[Chuck Atkins]

Hi Mark,

This is common configuration we use to deploy on HPC clusters.  Typically
we will configure VTK with -DVTK_USE_X=OFF and -DVTK_USE_OSMESA=ON.  You
can build your own static libOSMesa.a to link against so you can still get
rendering (albeit slower CPU based rendering) without any X11 dependencies
or shared libraries.
