One suggestion along this route is to have groups just be special modules
with nothing in them but a list dependent modules. So you'd have

VTK/Group/StandAlone/module.cmake
VTK/Group/Rendering/module.cmake
...

which lists the dependencies of GroupStandAlone, GroupRendering, etc. just
like any other module. When you turn on a group, the members of the group
get built just like how all other module dependencies are satisfied.
