[Paraview] How to compile and use ParaView 3.8.0 on Windows XP

[Dave Partyka]

1. You want to use 4.6.x. You can install Qt from the nokia website if your
compiler matches the one they used to build with (VS 2008). Or you can build
it yourself.

both work fine. MS-MPI is here:

exact same way but the command is typically called mpiexec. I don't think
you need to specify any display options to share the GPU on the local host.
