[Paraview] Utility to Generate Plugin Skeleton Project and Code

[Mike Jackson]

Since the first version was a complete kludge I spent some more time  
with this little project and basically rewrote it. The program now  
uses template files for the source code instead of having all the ugly  
code-creating-code thing. This also makes it easier to customize the  
end code for your purposes without having to recompile.

Again, the download location is the same:
