[Paraview] ParaView Mac OS X and Cocoa ... again

[Michael Jackson]

I have a patch, but it is kinda old at this point. I think it was  
against the PV 3.6 branch. I can include it here so that you can see  
what I did to get things to work or maybe I'll just generate a new  
patch against the PV 3.6 branch and you can look through it?

   Last time I tried I actually loaded a 5GB dataset into paraview on  
OS X.

The first hurdle is to get rid of the "forced" carbon build for OS X.  
Get the committed and then start working the rest. Clinton had a patch  
for one of the progress workers or something like that. I also needed  
the FindBoost.cmake from the latest CMake 2.6.4 (but that was probably  
for my own use.. )

   I'll help however I can..
