[Paraview] Install Flags for ParaView 3.8 RC 1 and OS X

[Lee Peterson]

Sorry I didn't make it clearer in my posting. I tried that version. Actually I tried multiple versions of ffmpeg. 

The ffmpeg_source.tar.gz at  http://vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html#addons fails to build on OS X 10.5.x and 10.6.x (stopping at bitstream.c with "extended registers have no high values". 

I googled a bit and found a suggestion to get the old ffmpeg revision 6375. That's the one that builds ok but encounters the make install bug.
