[Paraview] problems building paraview from source

[David E DeMarle]

Hello,

PARAVIEW_DATA_ROOT is the directory where regression test data is
kept. It is perfectly fine for it to be NOT_FOUND if you are not
interested in testing. If you are then you can download the test data
off of the paraview web site and correct the cmake variable.

QT-QMAKE-EXECUTABLE is not being found because ParaView does not yet
officially support QT 4.4. You can either install QT 4.3 (a binary
install is fine), or change the line in ParaView's top level
CMakeList.txt file after "#don't go greater than supported version" to
let ParaView use QT 4.4.

cheers,
Dave DeMarle
