[Paraview] 3.2 Plugin loading

[Mike Jackson]

What platforms are you developing your code on? I was thinking for OS  
X we could use the ~/Application Support/ParaView3/PlugIns directory,  
otherwise the plugin directory will be either dangling alongside the  
ParaView.app or buried in the .app package structure.
