Agreed, but right now ExternalProject is my favorite solution to this problem. I prefer the ExternalProject approach over the ParaView + internal VTK / git-submodule approach. So I'm just looking for ways to alter ExternalProject to be a little nicer to my workflow, which is incremental builds of multiple projects with project dependencies defined in a superbuild script.
Sure, and that sounds reasonable. Working with EP a little bit (with custom steps, or customized download/update/configure/build/install commands) to make your own workflow easier is reasonable.
I will continue to point out that expecting good incremental rebuild behavior from super builds is just silly, though.
