[Paraview] Question on Image reader

[Michael Jackson]

I use the following to link additional libraries to my server side  
plugin:

  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES("${MODULE_NAME}"
                      vtkClientServer
                      vtkPVServerManager
                      ${MXA_LIBRARIES}
                      ${MXA_SUPPORT_LIBRARIES}
                      ${BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}

If you are building your plugin at the same time you compile ParaView  
by using the $MODULE_NAME}ParaViewImport.cmake and the  
Paraview_Extra_External_Modules cmake property then you can use the $ 
{PARAVIEW_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES} variable to add more libraries to the  
linking of the pvFilters target.

I have a few projects that do this if you are interested in seeing them.
