[vtkusers] Share graphical resources (e.g., VBOs) between multiple vtkRenderWindows

[Ken Martin]

We have talked about sharing buffer objects across contexts and there are
definitely cases where it makes a lot of sense. We have not done anything
on it yet (well maybe some CUDA/OpenGL stuff) but I have added it to my
list of todos. Not sure when we will get to it but I know we want it.

Thanks
Ken
