[Paraview] plugin reader confusion

[Matt Nipper]

 I'm trying to add a customized reader into ParaView 3.4.0. I have followed
the instructions on
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Installand
successfully compiled my own version of PV 3.4.0. I have also created
the necessary files according to
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTofor my new reader, including
MyReader.xml, MyReaderGUI.xml, MyReader.cxx,
MyReader.h, and CMakeLists.txt. These I have located in a directory
C:\ParaView\3.4.0\Plugins\MyPlugin where C:\ParaView\3.4.0\ is my build
directory for PV.

What I don't understand is how to actually create the plugin from all of
this. I'm working on Windows and have Visual Studio 2005 as my compiler. I
have tried using CMake with the source code location as
C:\ParaView\3.4.0\Plugins\MyPlugin but it seems to revert to
C:\ParaView\3.4.0\ when it actually runs. It seems that the issue is getting
my plugin recognized as a "project" inside VS2005 so I can make it into a
.dll file, which in turn can be used by PV.

I would appreciate any help on this problem.
