Fabulous! I had only looked at the OverView build instructions, not
the ParaView build page, which does mention ctest under the headline,
"Test VTK with the Parallel BGL"

    https://www.kitware.com/InfovisWiki/index.php/Dev:Building_Software

Curiously, the SQL test passed with my Xcode build:

      2/356 Testing QVTK-TestQtSQLDatabase           Passed

even though the Data menu is missing the SQLDatabaseGraphSource and
SQLDatabaseTableSource items. Hmmmmmm. Ah well; knowing how to test is
a great start.

Thanks!

Zak
