[vtkusers] Trouble compiling VTK 7.1.0 with MSVC 2015

[David Gobbi]

Hi Guillaume,

The problem that you are seeing is a configuration problem, so do not try
to fix it by changing the code.

I suspect that cmake did not find the Windows SDK.  Are you running cmake
on the command line?  You can help cmake find the proper header files by
setting up the command line for the compiler:

Cheers,
