[Paraview] using pvbatch without X server

[Marzio Sala]

Ken,

I think I did everything correctly with 3.2.1 and OSMesa, and it was  
crashing. However I didn't spend too much time with 3.2.1. Following  
Kent's suggestion, I just switched to the CVS version. This works as  
expected in offscreen mode.
