Hi Bill,

There is a group called VTK_Group_StandAlone, I may mark the build all
modules variable as advanced but useful to keep around for dashboard.
The StandAlone group is intended to encompass all modules that can be
built without external dependencies (it includes those where we have
ThirdParty libraries, but by default we build the lib).

I will double check on my Mac to make sure that group isn't pulling in
Boost. Groups are intended to be the primary interface for developers
who don't want to worry about which modules they want to build. We
will be putting together a fuller guide in the coming days.

Thanks,

Marcus
