[Paraview] load several vtk files - transient dataset.

[Berk Geveci]

Unfortunately, there is no way of doing this with .vtk files at the
moment. If you convert your files to the XML based format, you can use
the pvd file. I suggest reporting a feature request for pvd -> vtk at
http://paraview.org/Bug.
