The best approach I've found is to use a subtree merge to bring
in a branch of commits constructed from upstream snapshots.  This
is how we handle vxl and now DoubleCovnersion.  See

 Modules/ThirdParty/VNL/src/README-ITK.txt
 Modules/ThirdParty/DoubleConversion/src/README-ITK.txt
 Modules/ThirdParty/DoubleConversion/src/UpdateDoubleConversionFromGoogle.sh

for examples.
