[Paraview] ParaView 3 Plugin Attempt

[Clinton Stimpson]

Ah, ok.  Here's how you build it into ParaView 3.

You do the server manager part the same as in ParaView 2.x.
Which means you need to put back your call to 
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_SERVERMANAGER_RESOURCES.

To add your custom readers so it will be in the file dialog, you can 
write an XML file following the format of
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_a_custom_filter.2C_reader_or_writer
That is just one xml file with <ParaViewReaders> .... </ParaViewReaders>
And call
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_GUI_RESOURCES("${PVDislocation_SOURCE_DIR}/GUIReaders.xml")
