I should have verified before I replied,  the feature didn't make it
into 3.6. However, with CVS ParaView, you can write legacy vtk or
vtk-xml files are time-series by checking the "Write all timesteps as
file-series" checkbox shown after you have selected the filename (and
this time, I verified :) )
