[Paraview] calculate distance between pair of meshes

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Lisa,

Take a look at this:
http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Python_Calculator#Comparing_Multiple_Datasets

It shows how to compare scalar values between two datasets. You can
use this as a starting point to compare point locations too ( use
inputs[...].Points instead of inputs[..].PointData in the example).
