[Paraview] Packaging branded binary

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Eric,

I've updated the Wiki:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Writing_Custom_Applications#Packaging

Here are the highlights:
* Build ParaView with VTK_USE_RPATH:OFF and BUILD_SHARED: ON
* Build your app with CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:ON and BUILD_SHARED: ON

I can run from the {package}/build directory if I make a source package, but that seems to be because it's still finding the libraries in my original ParaView build -- ldd on the executable lists the original library build location, not the new {package}/lib/paraview-3.7 library location. I tried building ParaView with VTK_USE_RPATH turned OFF, too, but that didn't seem to solve it.
