[Paraview] ParaView 3.8.1 and HDF5

[Jerome Soumagne]

Hi Nathalie,

I just checked what we had done with our last user and yes putting //BTX 
and //ETX around the line 99 in vtkDsmManager.h will fix it. We forgot 
to put this fix in the tarball. It is fixed in the Icarus git master 
branch though.

The icarus plugin on hpcforge and the cscs-release branch  are still 
compatible, be sure to do a git submodule update --init so that you get 
the right versions of the different submodules:

git clone git://git.cscs.ch/ParaView.git
git checkout cscs-release
git submodule update --init

Everything should be working then.

Jerome
