[vtkusers] VTK on Xeon Phi

[David E DeMarle]

As Berk said we haven't tried the Xeon Phi yet.

VTK does work with OSMesa, See the pure offscreen rendering section of
http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Parallel_Rendering
for CMake options to try first.

To find out how to configure Mesa for the Phi first ask the Mesa mailing
list. On the off chance they can't help, see ParaViewSuperbuild. Here we
take Mesa 7.6.1 (old habits are hard to break) and configure it to cross
compile on Cray's and Blue Gene's. There may be some patterns you could
follow there that might help configure it for the Phi.

Let us know how it goes. I would like to see this working.
