[Paraview] Superbuild and Windows

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Michael,

Are you using VS generator? Can you switch to using Ninja? You can
still use the MSVC compilers. The error is popping up when the build
is trying to compiler the pygments *.py files. You'll get the same
error later when it's trying to compile the ParaView *.py files.

Also, another thing to note is that Windows has issues with long
paths. So I'd suggest moving the superbuild source and build
directories to something lower to avoid those e.g. C:/tmp/pvs-src and
C:/tmp/pvs-build.

Finally, if you're using VS2012, you'll need to use a system Python.
Currently. the Python included in the superbuild is intended for
VS2008. Also VS2012, is currently untested. As a first pass, if
possible, I'd suggest using VS 2008. Once that's working, you can give
 VS2012 try. Hopefully, it should work (except the Python caveat), but
I am always wary of VS version differences.
