[Paraview] extracting surfaces

[Berk Geveci]

We will eventually add a way of specifying whether you want to write
vtk files as binary or ascii. Currently, vrml is the only format that
will produce ascii, I believe. It would also be easy to write a vtk
python script that reads a vtk file and prints the results in human
readable form.
