[Paraview] Has Paraview been ported to BlueGene/L,P or Q?

[David E DeMarle]

I've pushed a new branch to:
  https://github.com/demarle/ParaViewAutoBuild.git
with updates to build paraview 3.14.1 on a bluegene P with the xlc compilers

My todo list includes:
1) incorporate the patches that Bruce kindly provided for bluegene Q.
2) meld the cross compilation that ParaViewAutoBuild does with the
modern SuperBuild that we use to make ParaView binaries.
3) setup a dashboard so that we exercise it always

I expect that will be done in time for 4.0 but do not expect it done
in time for 3.98 final.
