Its behavior should be no worse than VTK's hdf5 build… is it? The only difference between verdict's and hdf5's use of these install locataions is that verdict only looks for VTK_INSTALL_LIB_DIR_CM24 if the install prefix hasn't been explicitly set in the CMake cache. That was done so that (back in the days of SVN) verdict could be built standalone for use outside VTK.

We must have missed this when converting over. I was intending to take
a pass for any further references to VTK_*_CM24 as they should all be
removed and using the new variables. CM24 is CMake 2.4 compatibility,
I don't think that needs preserving any more!
