[Martyn Gigg]

Vates should now build on OS X. Refs #5379

Change paraview check call. Refs #5379

It did call -V which ends up starting a GUI briefly and is quite slow on OS X. Changed to --help as this is faster and we don't grab anything from the version string anyway.

Make sure the Vates section of FixBundle.cmake is run. Refs #5379

CPack doesn't seem to know about some of CMake's variables. Using the variable directy now.

On RHEL6, you now get the output of 'paraview --help' printed to the console when starting Mantid:

  --connect-id=opt      Set the ID of the server and client to make sure they match.

  --cslog=opt           ClientServerStream log file.

  --data=opt            Load the specified data. To specify file series replace the numeral with a '.' eg. my0.vtk, my1.vtk...myN.vtk becomes my..vtk

  --data-directory=opt  Set the data directory where test-case data are.

  --disable-light-kit   When present, disables light kit by default. Useful for dashboard tests.

etc.....

Ah, yes of course. It used to print the version string but I guess that was less intrusive. I'll look at it

Fix setting PV_PLUGIN_PATH in ConfigService. Refs #5379

The relative path was wrong for OS X. It now just uses the key in the properties file. Also quietened the output of querying paraview by capturing the stderr as well.

Correction for PV_PLUGIN_PATH. Refs #5379

It should point to the sub-directory.

Add a custom Info.plist file for OS X. Refs #5379

This sets the library search path for ParaView before the application starts and allows the ParaView plugins to pick up the paraview libraries.

Credit to Martyn for completing this work.

[Russell Taylor]

I can build the patched paraview on Lion, and then MantidPlot with MAKE_VATES=ON. The downloadable dmg includes all the Vates/paraview stuff.
