There used to be a PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES - which allowed you
to compile modules into paraview - in fact it still exists, but probably
nobody uses it any more since plugins have improved so much.
I have some users who want to compile paraview, and a couple of selected
plugins, and then do a single "make install"
I've added PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS to the main paraview cmake,
which allows you to enter
vtkCSCSCommon;vtkCSCSFluent;vtkCSCSNetCDF etc etc etc
and then it prompts for paths to the sources, and compiles them at the
same time as paraview itself.
Does anyone else need this functionality? Shall I add it to cvs? It's
very simple - but does make life easier for the less experienced users
(to manage one build instead of two).
