Use VTK for comparing results #274

Currently we use this script to compare the results. There are two problems:

I would suggest to use VTK for comparing results. VTK is available in C++ and python. I have some limited experience with vtk in python and think this should be doable with a small python script using VTK. Noteworthy: VTK Is a more or less heavy dependency.
