[Paraview] Compiling ParaView 3 on Mac OS X (PowerPC)

[Berk Geveci]

We don't have good instructions for building ParaView 3.0 yet. These
should work:

* Download Qt 4.2.2
* Compile and install it (no changes to configuration is necessary)
* Follow the regular cmake process to build paraview
   - Make sure to set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to point to qmake in the Qt
installlation (under bin/ somewhere)

I set the following cmake parameters when building ParaView 3 binaries
for Intel:
PARAVIEW_TESTING_WITH_PYTHON:BOOL=OFF
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/opt/qt-4.2.2-framework/bin/qmake
PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=ON
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release
VTK_USE_RPATH:BOOL=ON
