[Paraview] Problem compiling ParaView with NMake

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Thomas,

I strongly recommend using the Ninja generator for building ParaView with
Superbuild on Windows. It will build much faster than if you use other
build generators, and will take care of the particular problem you are
seeing as -j is a Ninja option that controls the level of build parallelism.

Cheers,
Cory
