[Paraview] Using plugins compiled on Windows with an installed (not-compiled) Paraview. os-msvc msvc problem.

[clinton at elemtech.com]

You're using the open source Qt, and ParaView binaries were built with the 
commercial edition.  The ParaView binaries should probably build against the 
open source edition instead, and might be good to do for the ParaView 3.4 
release.

You might be able to use the -buildkey parameter to Qt's configure to match 
the commercial edition of Qt that comes with ParaView.  Someone else has 
asked before, and this was the answer given, but I don't know if that person 
had success.

Also, be sure you're using the same compiler version.
