ENH:

	Add XdmfArray to store values --- modify XdmfDataItem to contain an XdmfArray.
	Modify Tests to use new XdmfArray.
	Modify XdmfVisitor to use new XdmfArray.
	Add Python Tests and move Cxx tests to their own directory.

+# Add a python test from a python file
+# One cannot simply do:
+# SET(ENV{PYTHONPATH} ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH})
+# SET(my_test "from test_mymodule import *\;test_mymodule()")
+# ADD_TEST(PYTHON-TEST-MYMODULE  python -c ${my_test})
+# Since cmake is only transmitting the ADD_TEST line to ctest thus you are loosing
+# the env var. The only way to store the env var is to physically write in the cmake script
+# whatever PYTHONPATH you want and then add the test as 'cmake -P python_test.cmake'
+# 
+# Usage:
+# SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(test.py PROPERTIES PYTHONPATH
+#   "${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}:${VTK_DIR}")
+# ADD_PYTHON_TEST(PYTHON-TEST test.py)
