Summary:                    Allow compilation of ParaView with external VTK
Description: 
We need to be able to build ParaView with an external VTK.  First issue
encountered was:

CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewModuleTop.cmake:61 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    vtkGroups
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:495 (include)


CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewModuleTop.cmake:184 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    TopologicalSort

This can be fixed by installing those files.  The attached patch fixes that.

Next issue is:

CMake Error: File /Wrapping/Java/JavaDependencies.cmake.in does not exist.
CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkWrapJava.cmake:162 (CONFIGURE_FILE):
  configure_file Problem configuring file
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkJavaWrapping.cmake:40 (vtk_wrap_java3)
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkWrapping.cmake:67 (vtk_add_java_wrapping)
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkModuleMacros.cmake:565 (vtk_add_wrapping)
  ParaViewCore/VTKExtensions/Core/CMakeLists.txt:81 (vtk_module_library)

Two issues - JavaDependencies.cmake.in is not installed, and vtkWrapJava.cmake
is not looking for it in the correct place.  Code is:

  SET(dir ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
  IF(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR)
    SET(dir ${VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR})
  ENDIF(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR)
  CONFIGURE_FILE("${dir}/JavaDependencies.cmake.in"
    "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/JavaDependencies.cmake" IMMEDIATE @ONLY)

>From vtkJavaWrapping.cmake:
  set(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR "${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/Wrapping/Java")

So it looks like this is just not capable of being run outside of the VTK source
tree.
