[Paraview] Making a package for Nix system

[Yves Rogez]

Hi Mathieu :-)

yes it's for the case of multi-server (actually single client) option. I 
will get the source from the git repository master a give it another try.

OK for the debug, I can compile it again in debug but it takes a long 
time on my little test laptop so I was wondering maybe some other tricky 
test on the release version ;-) I will let the debug build run this 
week-end and send a quick report.

By the way, do you plan to support nix packages build in the future for 
Paraview ? The problem I will encounter now is that Paraview depends on 
video card driver OpenGL libs so that to get good performances, I will 
break the nix packages philosophy of being independent from the 
operating system specific kernel...

Thanks for the answer!

Yves
