[Paraview] Redistributable ParaView OS X Package is unusable.

[Michael Jackson]

Hmm. I am not seeing anything in there that is different from my setup
besides the Qt version. I have tried both 4.6.3 and 4.7.2 of Qt and
CMake versions 2.8.3 and 2.8.4. All with the same issue. Maybe asking
on the Qt interest list if anyone has ever seen this type of behavior
before?
