[Paraview] Forcing a Qt version

[Michael Jackson]

    Assuming you really meant Qt 4.3.4 and NOT Qt 3.3.4 here is what  
you need to do.

Remove everything from your build directory so we can start clean.
Go to "My Computer" and add/check/set the QTDIR (Capitalization  
counts) to your Qt 4 installation.
Launch CMakeSetup or CMake-GUI.exe and configure ParaView. You should  
at most get a warning about the version of Qt your are using and the  
"required" version.

Everything _should_ work.

Now, if you are really trying to use Qt 3 instead of Qt 4 then that is  
not supported. YOu need at least Qt 4.3 to build ParaView.
