One could do something like

 if(PARAVIEW_DATA_EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
   set_property(TARGET ParaViewData PROPERTY EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL 1)
 endif()

and similarly in VTK.  That would provide a locally configurable
option developers could use for this.  We cannot do it by default
or dashboards would not get the data they need for tests.
