[Paraview] ParaView 3.8.1 and HDF5

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Mike's right, but I think even when you add BTX/ETX, the compilation will fail due to incompatibilities later. Give it a try though (the fail is because the cscs-release branch was made before the wrapper fixes from David Gobbi went in, and the newer code doesn't have them in all places)

When vtk parses your header file there are a lot of standRd c++ things
that it does not understand. Wrap those items with
//BTX
Trouble code
//ETX
