Yeah. It's essentially the same problem ParaView has with an external
VTK: VTK doesn't export all of its infrastructure macros properly
(particularly testing and external data) in an install tree. There are
probably other assumptions laying around that other projects trip up on
(e.g., some setting VTK has which another project might want to change
or the fact that VTK is built from within VTK's source tree). I don't
know that an exhaustive (or comprehensive) list of issues exists. It
will be something that will kept in mind when CMake 3 features are used
in the module system.
