Cool. I'll try and take a look at it in the coming weeks. I'll probably
have an example ParaView wheel before VTK since it already uses the new
superbuild infrastructure, but I want to move VTK's superbuild over to
it as well.

When the superbuild supports wheels, that will work (the packging
rewrites all IDs and links to use @executable_path or @loader_path
depending on the library type).
