Congratulations to the VTK developer team and Kitware for lots of<br>
impressive additions to an already impressive toolkit!<br>
<br>
I have a question about CVS checkouts, tags, and branches. What is the<br>
difference between the tag "VTK-5-2-0" and branch "VTK-5-2"? Is the<br>
latter the one to checkout to keep up with patches and fixes? Could you<br>
please indicate the cvs command lines to get the right VTK and VTKData<br>
directories?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
P.S. Does CMake have options to automatically "download additional<br>
components" and build/use/install them *if* the user accepts their<br>
license terms and turns them on?<br>
