[Paraview] Multiple Datasets in Pipeline from Single Custom Reader

[Mike Jackson]

Great, That is now working. Is there any way to give the "output" a  
human understandable name? Right now I get "Output-0" and "Output-1".  
Can I set a name in the vtkInformation object for each? Or something  
like that?

Thanks
