[Paraview] QtAssistant will not Launch

[Mike Jackson]

Found the problem. Currently in the pqClientDocFinder.txt file you  
list the entire path to the QtAssistant executable. Qt is trying to be  
_too_ cute and they actually add ".app/Contents/MacOS/assistant" in  
the QtAssistantClient.cpp constructor.

In the Applications/Client/CMakeLists.txt file around line 156 you can  
add the following:
IF (APPLE)
   SET (PV_ASSISTANT "${QT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/assistant")
ENDIF (APPLE)

which "works for me". I have a DyLib build of Qt instead of a  
Framework build but should work there also.

I am working on some other fixes for these issues in the mean time.
