[vtk-developers] Science module directory

[George Zagaris]

Moving AMR under Filters seems reasonable. We may need to have AMR and
ParallelAMR under Filters for serial and parallel implementations
respectively (right now everything depends on parallel).

I think a top-level "Science" or similar directory would be useful.
Right now, it is not clear where domain-specific code should go. I can
see it grow with, Chemistry, Cosmology, CFD, etc.

Best,
George
