Sure.

Thanks.


Next, I'm trying to build ITK master against VTK master and get:

 CMake Error at Modules/Bridge/VtkGlue/CMakeLists.txt:38 (vtk_module_config):
   Unknown CMake command "vtk_module_config".

I'm gonna guess this too is related to this 'new module system' stuff, yes?  Does ITK need to change?  Or is VTK missing some backward compatibility something?

Cheers,
