[Paraview] Build .app bundle on Mac OS X

Thanks for your work!

Just for the records:
- - In addition to that I also had to change the references to all Qt  
libraries (also for the libraries itself). Funny thing is, the I  
didn't have to fiddle with the install_names themselves, as they were  
changed. Just the references were off.
- - Further was the QtSQL.framework missing. I had to add that one  
myself, and there change the references and the install_name with the  
install_name_tool.

This is a bit off topic, but another issue I ran across: When I try to  
build with CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT set to /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk  
under OS X 10.5, things didn't work out of the box:
- - CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING=-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk -Wl,-macosx_version_min,10.4
- - CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING=-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk -Wl,-macosx_version_min,10.4
- - CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING=-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk -Wl,-macosx_version_min,10.4
- - CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-mmacosx-version-min=10.4
- - CMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-mmacosx-version-min=10.4

Further I needed to patch up a tiny thing:

I hope this helps
