I hadn't considered it ready for review quite yet -- in particular, I 
wanted to fix up a lot of things about how mangled / osmesa is handled 
in the build system -- but I pushed something anyway.

The branch is called 'visit':

 
http://review.source.kitware.com/#q,status:open+project:VTK+branch:master+topic:visit,n,z

Some of it isn't necessarily OGL related, it's just stuff that's useful 
for us.  For example:

   http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,2952

which lets us disable NetCDF altogether.  I can provide more 
comments/explanations per-commit, if that would help.

Some of it is in varying levels of completeness and isolation.  That 
NetCDF commit is probably ready to be pulled right now, for example. 
Would love to hear comments on what I can do to get what we've got (or 
similar solutions) upstream.
