Summary0015494: Faulty logic when wrapping templated VTK objects
DescriptionWhen the python wrappers encounter a parameter that is a pointer to a class template, they seem to assume that the class is derived from vtkObjectBase via vtkTypeTemplate. As a result, the wrappers generate a typeid() call, because vtkTypeTemplate uses typeid() in its GetClassName() method.

Of course, this typeid() call should _only_ be used for classes that use vtkTypeTemplate. It is inapplicable to any other templated classes. Hence, I need to add some code that checks whether a class uses vtkTypeTemplate, or whether a class is derived from such a class.

I've added a "quick and dirty" fix for the vtkSmartPointer<>, because it's the only wrapper-breaking template that I've seen so far: a4a1d20e. However, a better fix will eventually be needed.
