carpeth5tovtk, vtkmerge and vtkslice constitute a set of tools
for converting Carpet H5 output to VTK; more precisely, each 
component of each refinement level of each iteration is output
into a separate *.vtk file, which can then be read by standard
visualization tools like VisIt or ParaView.

This model has the benefit of increasing the granularity of 
the data, which can be selectively visualized/sliced/fetched 
from a remote location without much expenditure of time and 
resources.

Note that vtkmerge requires a patched version of the h5utils,
which we should include under this repository until we have
made sure the patch has been communicated to their developers
and included in their distribution. WITHOUT THE PATCH, THE 
COORDINATE LOCATIONS OF THE DATA POINTS WILL BE WRONG AND
THE MERGING PROCESS WILL GENERATE NONSENSE.

Thanks to Ian Hinder for the binary section in vtkmerge and
for contributing the wrapper scripts.
