[Paraview] Build ParaViewWeb on windows

[Yu Yu]

Hi Sebastien,

Sorry, please ignore the previous error. I finally found the correct
combination in cmake and successfully build ParaViewWeb without error.

However, when I launch ParaViewWeb with the following command:

pvpython.exe
..\lib\paraview-4.3\site-packages\paraview\web\pv_web_visualizer.py
--content ..\share\www --port 8088 --data-dir \data

The following error occur.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    import win32api
ImportError: No module named win32api

Can I know how to point it to win32api I installed ? The file for
win32api.pyd is in
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32

Thanks for your help.
