It produces an UnstructuredGrid.
Actually it's here if you're interested in taking a look:
http://github.com/olesenm/VTK/blob/custom/IO/vtkProStarReader.h
http://github.com/olesenm/VTK/blob/custom/IO/vtkProStarReader.cxx

The xml layer is still on the Paraview side of things though:
http://github.com/olesenm/ParaView/blob/custom/Servers/ServerManager/Resources/readers.xml


I can easily whip up some small test files with various cell shapes
(tet, polyhedral) etc, but I'm not not actually sure how this is
supposed to be used to check that reader is working correctly.

I would like to get it integrated though into paraview/vtk though.
For CFD geometries (not results), it's a fairly simple, robust,
ASCII-based format that covers all (linear) 2/3-D cell types.
