I'll updated my buildbot scripts with the above (and below) renames.

So they are strings I guess?

This new string is so long that in ccmake I only see:

 VTK_MODULE_USE_EXTERNAL_VTK_do  *OFF                                                                                                                                             
 VTK_MODULE_USE_EXTERNAL_VTK_ei  *OFF                                                                                                                                             
 VTK_MODULE_USE_EXTERNAL_VTK_ex  *OFF                                                                                                                                             
 VTK_MODULE_USE_EXTERNAL_VTK_fr  *OFF                                                                                                                                             

Is there anyway to resize those columns?

Cheers,
