[Dune] Vector Data to VTK format?

[Andreas Dedner]

One further remark:
in the VTKFunction interface the method ncomp returns the number of
components. As far as I have understood it, this value is either
1: scalar
3: vector
I think all values in between are not valid?
So for 2d one still has to return 3 and the evaluate method with
comp=2 should return 0.
