Hmm, this indicates that it is probably going through `FindPython`
rather than a versioned variant. I wonder if `VTK_PYTHON_VERSION` is
unset or unused in one place. It's ungrouped since cmake-gui groups
based on the part before the first `_`.

Hmm, interesting. What should be done here? Should we just copy the
version down from the Java CMake finds? I'm not that familiar with Java.

Why does this need to be done? Is this something to do with these being
linker scripts?

See previous email.

Yeah, dashboards are having issues here too.
