[Paraview] ParaView on the Mac

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Jon,

ParaView currently only supports builtin TclTk.

The TclTk in ParaView is build using two scripts. The
configure_tcltk.sh.in does the configure (cmake) step, and
build_tcltk.sh.in does the actual building. The two scripts are only
written for standard unix using X11.
