[vtkusers] Trouble compiling VTK 7.1.0 with MSVC 2015

[Guillaume Jacquenot]

Hello,

I have tried to compile VTK 7.1 with MSVC2015 in release mode. Below is
CMake command line that reproduces the bug.

I have faced two compilation issues with vtkNetCDF

First, compilation stopped because of a missing include file required in
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/libsrc/lookup3.c#L58

I had to comment the following specific Windows include instruction to
continue
// #include <sys/param.h>  /* attempt to define endianness */

Second, in file ThirdParty\netcdf\vtknetcdf\libsrc4\nc4hdf.c, I have an
error for line 3666
error C2177: constant too big
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/libsrc4/nc4hdf.c#L3666
I also commented the lines, and compilation continues

The comment on the next line seems gave me the idea to also comment the non
compiling lines

https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/libsrc4/nc4hdf.c#L3674

I have checked the master branch and no evolution has been made to the code
since release 7.1.0


My CMake command line is

cmake ^
