[Paraview] ParaView 3.7 from cvs on Mac OS X, x86_64, Qt 4.5.3 w/Cocoa

[Michael Wild]

Great to hear!

The "make dmg" IS pretty cool, but sometimes it just doesn't work  
properly. Sometimes they icons don't stick where they should  
(especially on 10.6, probably due to a bug in AppleScript), and  
sometimes the background doesn't show when the DMG is attached on  
another computer. Quite frustrating, but I don't have the time to  
debug it... Also, the DragNDrop installer stuff that comes with newer  
CMake versions offers the possibility to provide a .DS_Store file and  
a background image, without having to resort to AppleScript, but I  
never got that to work properly neither.
