[Paraview] paraview 3.0.1 build on MacOS X is brittle

[Mike Jackson]

I _think_ some of the point of moving from tck/tk to Qt for ParaView  
III was so that X11 was NOT needed and a standard OS X application  
bundle could be created and distributed. So, assuming Kitware  
provided a prebuilt Universal binary Application bundle for ParaView  
III, then fink is no longer needed to install ParaView.

Just my Opinion.

Also, is there an option in Qt 4.x to build as X11 and NOT Carbon? If  
there is NOT, then you have NO hope of creating a ParaView III based  
on X11 on OS X.
