[Paraview] 64Bit Experiment

[Michael Jackson]

Um.. well I just put in a bug report the removes the Carbon framework  
from linker flags in the FindQt4.cmake file. Wonder if that was really  
necessary. I just assumed that if I want a true 64 bit build then  
Carbon would hold me back on that.

I guess, how do we know if we get a true 64bit build of Qt4.5 and  
ParaView then? I guess if the compile succeeds that is the first step.

I don't actually have a 64 bit machine (yet) but hopefully by the end  
of the month I'll have one of those swanky Core i7 Xeons that just got  
release on tuesday.
