Provide a foo.remote.cmake file<br>
and in your module create a module.cmake to specify your vtk<br>
dependencies. The docs assume you want to make a conventional vtk<br>
module,. But, your module can do anything it wants.<br>
<br>
For example in ITK, there are the Sphinx and ITK Wiki Examples. These<br>
both have non-standard directory structures.<br>

I am currently working on a remote module for the vtk wiki examples.<br>
These will be buildable as a remote module or stand-alone. It is not<br>
that difficult.<br>

Stay tuned...<br>
