[CMake] ExternalProject module -- questions

I'm trying to come up with a workable 'super build' for our programs,
using the ExternalProject module. I'm using CMake 2.8.0 -- not sure
if there's any substantive improvements in ExternalProject.cmake in
2.8.1 or CMake CVS.
In short, I want to build Tcl, Tk, VTK, ITK (with WrapITK), CableSwig
(for WrapITK). My application also depends on Qt, but I'm using an
installed binary for that
My strategy is to build everything using as close to a vanilla setup
as is possible, and have each package install using the project binary
directory as the install target. In other words, my top level
CMakeLists.txt, which includes all the ExternalProject_add macros,
sets CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
I've solved some problems for myself, but I'm running into several
confusing things:
1. VTK can't seem to build, at least with Wrapping turned on. The
problem seems to be that it tries to build the executable 'vtk' in
VTK-prefix/src/VTK-build/Wrapping/Tcl, which contains a directory
named 'vtk'
2. The included CMakeLists.txt seems to generate projects that build
in a non-deterministic, order. Sometimes Tcl builds first, Sometimes
CableSwig.
3. I'm confused about the interaction between CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX,
and the ExternalProject_add parameter INSTALL_DIR. If I give
INSTALL_DIR in the ExternalProject_add macro, it still tries to
install the programs in /usr/local. So now I explicitly set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the arguments to ExternalProject_add, but it
doesn't make sense that I should have to?
