[Ves] VesKiwiViwerApp

[Pat Marion]

Have you tried building and running the KiwiViewer iOS app?  It is
located in Apps/iOS/Kiwi.  This is the best place to start, if you
want to try loading VTK files on the iphone.  You can run KiwiViewer
in the iOS simulator or on an iOS device.  Just open the Xcode project
and choose Run.  After you get it running, you can search through the
objective-c source files to find the location where it calls
loadDataSet(filename).
