[Paraview] 64Bit Experiment

[Clinton Stimpson]

The file command reports the architecture of binaries.  I had doubts 
myself partly because Carbon was still used and partly because 
everything compiled and looked the same as 32 bit Carbon, until I ran 
file to verify it really was 64 bit.  lipo can check that too, but I 
just remember commands that work on more platforms.

But anyways, what's most important is that QWidget maps to a Cocoa 
NSView and it does.
