4This directory is a place-holder for all remote modules distributed
5outside VTK's main repository.  Remote modules share the same
6directory structure as modules in the main repository.  They will be
7picked up by the configuration system and entered into the build after
8they are downloaded into this directory.

10Modules can be easily downloaded and accessible to the community by
11listing the module in the current directory.  For more information on
12adding a new module to the list of new modules, see the page that
13describes the policy and procedures for adding a new module:

17__NOTE__ that in each `<remote module name>.remote.cmake`, the first
18argument of the function vtk_fetch_module() is the name of the remote
19module, and it has to be consistent with the module name defined in
20the corresponding module.cmake.
