[Paraview] Linking failure of vtkpython on Mac OS X 10.5 for Paraview3-CVS

[Berk Geveci]

I committed a fix to this problem - which happened only with the Qt
binaries from Trolltech not if you built Qt from source. I believe
that this is a small problem with the way they are creating their
libraries and I will report it to Nokia.
