[Paraview] Superbuild and Windows

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Great! Which VS was this? The Pygments thing should be tracked down.
I'll see what's happening there. BTW, I am making progress on
Mavericks build. I think I have most things ironed out. I'll send an
updated email once I have dashboard testing it.

After that, the build went smoothly. I hit a snag on creating the package because I’m triggering the USE_SYSTEM_matplotlib option and the Projects/win32/paraview.bundle.cmake does not trap the copying of matplotlib related items when this flag is used. I see a similar issue in the Projects/apple/paraview.bundle.cmake file as well. I added a AND NOT USE_SYSTEM_matplotlib to the if (matplotlib_ENABLED) line and that fixed the generated cmake_install.cmake file and the package created fine. I’ve tested the resulting package and so far so good.
