[vtkusers] Any plan to update the books?

[David E DeMarle]

We don't have any near term plans for an update.

The books certainly do need a refresh, including a math reformat for the
free online versions, however just about of the techniques described in
them are still valid.

Most of the code is still valid, with the important exception of a few
places in need of  version 5->6 changes. For those refer to
