[Paraview] About ParaView catalyst

[David E DeMarle]

Back in the day, with bluegene-P I was able to get ParaView compiled with
xlc working so it should be possible. (And before that others did it on
BGL.) However - I struggled with xl compilers on the mira at anl installs for
several days (see the dreaded -mminimal-toc error below). Despite great
help from the alcf support guys, and trying many many things, I eventually
gave up and went with the gnu compilers. But ... sometime after those few
terrible days that I do not care to repeat, Todd Gamblin at llnl
contributed a BGQ platform file to CMake. With that and latest cmake, there
is some hope that the xlc compile will just work.
