[Paraview] Fail to build vtkIO in 3.8.0 on Windows7 64bit MSVC2008

[Dave Partyka]

I don't think changing the SDK that Visual Studio is using is supported. VS
2008 uses the 6.0A SDK. If you want to use the 7.1 SDK then you probably
need to use VS 2010. I suspect there are configuration checks that CMake
assumes if VS 2008 then use SDK 6.0A conventions.

That said, ParaView should compile fine with Visual Stodio 2008 or 2010
using the appropriate SDK.
