[vtk-developers] ThirdParty/verdict installs in odd places

[David E DeMarle]

We should plan is to move all of our third party libraries to import
via git's subtree merge strategy. You get most of the ease of
upgradability of submodules and most of the convenience of wrote
source code copying that way.

See the recent netcdf, xdmf and hdf5 imports to talk to Brad King to
see how that is done.

I will check into the possibility of doing that. But if so, we must figure out how VTK will import it, as I believe all the other stuff in ThirdParty is part of the VTK repo -- as opposed to a submodule -- on purpose.
