[vtkusers] missing vtk library for vtk5 compilation

[Idayat Salako]

Hi David,
Thank you very much for your response.
I downgraded to vtk 5.10 and compiled with visual studio 2013 but I still
get missing library errors and some compiler errors (pic below). I don't
know if it matters that I also had some warning when configuring/genertaing
in cmake (cmake log files). Would you have any idea as to how to solve this?
