[Paraview] Which file formats support specified time in a time series?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

You could use pvd format to point to VTK multiblock timeseries xml
files. I started a Wiki page a little while ago collecting tribal
knowledge about readers:
http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_Readers_and_Parallel_Data_Distribution

It still needs a lot of love, but I thought I'd raise that up here,
just to build awareness among users and developers alike :).
