[vtkusers] Success: Building VTK 7.0.0rc1 for Anaconda 3.5

[Matthias Blaicher]

Hi all,

I'd like to provide a short report on a successful compilation of VTK
7.0.0rc1 for Anaconda 3.5 on Windows 10, including the conda build
script. Hopefully it is a good starting point for others to improve upon.

You will need:
 - Anaconda Python 3.5
 - Visual Studio 2015 Community edition to compile against Python 3.5
   (about 10GB of Download. It's unbelievable... But there is no other
    matching version of the compiler on the interwebs. You'll get SQL
    Server for free...)
 - conda-build installed, see [1]

The build files are attached to this mail, a simple conda build should
suffice to give you working vtk in python 3.5. Alternatively, I've also
uploaded the resulting binary to my server [2], if you so choose to
trust my binaries ;-). Install it simply with conda install.

Potentially, the script should also work for OSX and Linux, I'd be happy
to get feedback on this.

Very best,
Matthias
