Read again carefully and this time look for the "in fact it still
exists, but probably nobody uses it any more since plugins have improved
so much" - I actually use it myself, so I'm playing deveils advocate,
but I like plugins better now...

That is not is ParaView anymore? When did it go away? I use it all the
time and recommend it to my first time users to compile their own
filters. I would vote to keep the functionality if it is not causing
problems for other parts of the build.
Why was it removed? Is it removed in CVS or 3.4?

I have some users who want to compile paraview, and a couple of
selected plugins, and then do a single "make install"
I've added PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS to the main paraview
cmake, which allows you to enter
vtkCSCSCommon;vtkCSCSFluent;vtkCSCSNetCDF etc etc etc
and then it prompts for paths to the sources, and compiles them at
the same time as paraview itself.
Does anyone else need this functionality? Shall I add it to cvs? It's
very simple - but does make life easier for the less experienced
users (to manage one build instead of two).
