[Paraview] Not a valid QT plugin on windows

[Jacques Papper]

I haven't had the time to get this to work... I went through the dependency
walker and it seems that many dependencies are not resolved... Wht I will do
next is compare this to my linux build. 
I'll keep you posted on the progress  ~ Just one question though, plugins
working in ParaView 3.2 should work in 3.4 right ?

Hi Jacques,

I can't be of much help but I wanted to mention that, once you get this
working, we should create a wiki describing issues with plugins on various
platforms, specially Windows.
