[Paraview] Superbuild: Passing VTK parameter?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Rick,

The instrastructure doesnt' support passing flags to ParaView yet.
However to build ParaView with OSMesa (which is needed for OffScreen),
you can simply enable "osmesa". Note when osmesa is enabled, Qt and
Mesa cannot be enabled (you'll get cmake errors if they are).
