And we probably *will* have to copy it into some dune module to read VTK
files, since we probably want to be able to read vtk files in binaryappended
format.  To my knowledge, those are not valid XML, since they contain
unencoded binary blobs.  So unless the parser already has hooks for that, you
will need to patch in support for that...
