[vtkusers] Deprecate vtkGeo* classes (Sankhesh Jhaveri)

[Jon Haitz Legarreta]

Hi Donny,
yes, the remote modules are available to any VTK user by checking the
corresponding checkbox/making the corresponding flag be ON in
CMake/CMakeLists.txt.

The current remotes are available under the Module group of CMake.

The examples Andrew identified could also be part of the remote module.

If the classes that should be transferred to the remote are all those
Sankhesh listed, and we are set to go, I can help you in the process.

HTH,
JON HAITZ
