[vtkusers] vtkXMLPUnstructuredGridWriter() howto?

[Sebastien Jourdain]

I didn't use any writer recently, but PxWriter usually write 1 file
per piece and a master file somehow. So you can later on, use a
PxReader to directly read each file on a given process with MPI so
your data are already partitioned.
