[Paraview] Buggy development package?

[Michael Wild]

Also, ParaViewConfig.cmake, VTKConfig.cmake and VTKLibraryDepends.cmake have similar problems.

When I said that unsetting the XXX_LIB_DEPENDS variables was solving the problem, I was mistaken. It actually breaks things, but I didn't notice it until tried to load the plugin (I was using -undefined dynamic_lookup ...).

Coming to think of it, shouldn't one also use the same Qt version that was used to compile ParaView? So that one should also be included in the development package, right? And on Mac the frameworks should have their install_name directory set to @executable_path/../Frameworks and the libraries to @executable_path/../Libraries. Of course, ParaViewUse.cmake should make sure that the correct Qt is discovered and used.
