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

[Takuya OSHIMA]

Hi Michael & all,

With OS X 10.6.1 + Qt 4.5.3/Cocoa/x86_64 + PV 3.7 builds I've run into
either the occasional greyed out filters when launched in-place
without make install or crashes at startup after make install. So I
tried your ParaView3-enhancements
( http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2009-October/014246.html )
and indeed it works perfectly at least in builtin server mode after
running make install (really great). I wonder what is the secret about
your "enhancements"?
