OK, so I do remember googletest also doing stuff like this. But these
are test dependencies. Are there any that you can think of that do this
for things like vtkzlib? Though there I suspect that no one does the
proper mangling that needs to be done…

Also, that's more like remote modules than what is being requested here.
If that's the case, maybe RenderingOpenVR should just become a remote
module instead?
