[vtkusers] Wiki examples fail to build due to no InsertNextTypedTuple

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Bill,
As VTK evolves this is going to become more of a problem.

The same problems will occur with the Python code also.

I think that a comment pointing out that VTK versions differ in API and
available classes and the code may not run on all versions would be most
appropriate along with a link to the pages describing the different
versions of VTK.

Regards
   Andrew
