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

[Andy Bauer]

If you just want to install ParaView on your windows machine there is a
ms-mpi paraview installer available at
http://paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.html.  As far as I know all
you need to do is also install ms-mpi on your machine and you should be set
for running paraview in parallel.
