// .NAME vtkXMLPMultiBlockDataWriter - parallel writer for
// vtkHierarchicalBoxDataSet.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkXMLPCompositeDataWriter writes (in parallel or serially) the VTK XML
// multi-group, multi-block hierarchical and hierarchical box files. XML
// multi-group data files are meta-files that point to a list of serial VTK
// XML files.
