[Ves] Using Ipad 5.1 Simulator

[Pat Marion]

I'm afraid there's no such thing as a main.cxx example for iOS.  You can't
compile a main.cxx file to produce an iOS program using VES.  You have to
build a complete iOS app, and iOS apps require some code in Objective-C and
several resource files.  You have to use XCode to generate a new iOS
project, or copy the existing Kiwi project.

Your iOS app has to contain a GKLView in order to initialize the rendering
context for VES.  If you're not already familiar with GLKit in iOS, you
should try following some of the online tutorials for GLKit.  After you
have some familiarity with GLKit, the best way to get started is to create
a new project in XCode and select File -> New Project and then choose
OpenGL Game as the base project template.  Then, you have to add VTK and
VES library and include search paths to the XCode project, this can be a
tricky step.  In the next release of VES we will have a build step that
creates frameworks which greatly simplify using VTK and VES in XCode.
We'll also have an example using GLKit, the current release version of Kiwi
uses EAGLView because it was developed before Apple had released GLKit.  If
you've never created an iOS project from scratch, you might find it easiest
to just copy the existing Kiwi project and use that as a template.  Just
make sure you modify the xcconfig file to set the currect path locations.
