Hi Mark, vtkGDALVectorReader has been in the ParaView source tree for quite a while. You however have to explicitly turn on the reader by CMake configuration (Module_vtkIOGDAL) and build ParaView with GDAL. Furthermore, you need to write a simple XML plugin and load it to expose the reader to the ParaView GUI. If it works, you can use GDALVectorReaderSM.xml in the vtkgis_vector_reader repository instead.
