[vtkusers] Migrate from VTK 4.2 to 7.0, supporting functions and libraries

[Dženan Zukić]

Hi Dennis,

if you try to use VTK7, you can link against only a subset of vtkRendering*
libraries (the ones which your application actually uses),
e.g. vtkRenderingCore-7.0.lib and vtkRenderingOpenGL-7.0.lib.

As you did not specify what kind of application it is, we can only guess
how hard would it be to CMakify
<http://www.kitware.com/news/home/browse/CMake%3F2003_10_30%26Cross-Platform+Software+Development+Using+CMake>
it. If you CMakify your application, linking against VTK can be
accomplished in a simple way provided in this example
<http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/CMakeListsFile>.

HTH,
Dženan
