[Paraview] OSX 10.6, Qt 4.5

[Michael Wild]

Hi all

I managed to build ParaView CVS with the binary distribution of Qt  
4.5.3 (Carbon version) on Mac OS X 10.6.1. Was rather tricky, however.  
Especially, I had to manually fix up the cache (specifying the  
location of the QtUiTools library etc.). Also I had to explicitly set  
CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to '-arch i386', because of a bug in  
CMake where a single architecture in CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES doesn't  
get passed to the command line if it is the "default" architecture  
(which i386 was up to 10.5).

Further I had to make sure that add /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Carbon.framework to the add_library call of VTK/GUISupport/Qt/ 
CMakeLists.txt and revert parts of the commit "Utkarsh: Mon Sep 14  
18:23:28 2009" with the message "COMP: Fixed build issues." by re- 
introducing the Q_WS_MAC specific code in Qt/Widgets/ 
pqProgressBarHelper.cxx.

I also had to completely revert the commit "COMP:  Support building  
with Qt install from dmg on Mac." (remove the Mac-specific include for  
QtUiTools/QUiLoader in Qt/Core/pqFormBuilder.h)
