[vtkusers] customizing the VTK projection matrix (i.e K[R T] to VTK projection)

[Dan Lipsa]

Hi Achkan,
In the past I was able to translate the model view transforms from VTK to
OpenGL, so that I kept a VTK view and an OpenGL view in sync.
The information in that discussion might be of interest to your problem as
well.
