The installation of development files is now an option that is off by 
default.  In fact it has been disabled in the source because its 
implementation is incomplete.  VTK headers are installed but ParaView 
headers are not.

You have two options:

1.) Build your custom reader against the BUILD tree of ParaView instead 
of the install tree.  Just specify ParaView_DIR as the root of the build 
tree.

2.) Edit the source to enable installation of development files.  The 
code below is from the top-level CMakeLists.txt file.  Just uncommnet 
the OPTION line and the option to install development files will be 
enabled.  Then you can turn it on when running CMake.
