[Paraview] adding existing VTK filter without recompiling

[Moreland, Kenneth]

That Wiki page is out of date.  It was written for ParaView 2.X.  ParaView 3 has a new way of adding filters, which unfortunately requires compiling a shared object library.

> Well, I go to the File menu, but there is no Import Package option!!
