The VTK_*_CM24 is obviously VTK specific though, and should be safe to
change. I totally agree that the failing submodules subtree merges
provide a cleaner way of bringing in external projects to our source
tree.

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.
