[Paraview] Problem compiling plugin for using with ParaView 64

[Michael Jackson]

YES. You need to use the proper command prompt from the start menu  
when compiling Qt to make sure you get the correct type of build (32  
vs 64 bit).

AFTER you have then built Qt correctly, then launch CMake-GUI and  
configure ParaView to build using a clean build directory. MAKE SURE  
YOU select the "Visual Studio 9 2008 x64" as the generator.
