[Paraview] superbuild

[David Partyka]

Hi Stephane,

SuperBuild is something I am working on to build ParaView and it's
dependencies using CMake's external_project feature. External_Project allows
us to download, patch, configure, build and install a dependency with an
easy to use function call, regardless if the dependency uses CMake natively
or not.

Currently it can build Python, Lapack/CLAPACK, NUMPY, OpenMPI, Manta and
FFMPEG. Some of which are dependencies I traditionally have built by hand
for ParaView releases. It's still in it's infancy but when it is ready for
active use I will definitely put up a wiki page and direct people how to use
it to build ParaView.

I will keep everyone
