[vtk-developers] Parallel LIC python wrapping failure

[David Gobbi]

The wrappers are great for exercising class interfaces, and
they don't like the fact that the ParallelLIC interface headers
include vtkMPI.h.  It looks like ParallelLIC is the only module
that does this, even though several other modules use MPI.

I'll exclude the problematic headers from wrapping.
