[Paraview] Paraview Development installation

Greetings to all!

Done! "Paraview Development installation" is now /unofficially/ 
available! At least for Windows... That SuperBuild folder is reaaally 
very nice indeed!

I've made the files available here: 
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/ - they are 
provided as self-extractables instead of NSI simply because I couldn't 
get CPack to work properly for the dev packaging.
I haven't done a deeper check of how things are (i.e., haven't tried to 
use the files yet myself), but that's what the unofficial project's 
Issue Tracker is for ;)
Steps taken to make things work also also documented in wiki form and in 
the source code repository.

If there is something that needs legal attention, please advise! I've 
tried to keep things as transparent as possible. Additional help is also 
welcome!

Best regards,
Bruno
