Thanks.  I'm not at all familiar with cmake; however, I am already
using USE_CMAKE and CMAKE_ARGS to set various build options of
ParaView.  But I was hoping there would exist a straightforward way to
do an out-of-source build using pkgsrc Makefiles.  With my previous
Makefile fragment ${WRKDIR}/ParaView-bin is created and populated
correctly, so that running make under it would work.  But I cannot
figure out how to tell pkgsrc to do-build there instead of under
WRKSRC (or maybe I've got things completely backwards...).

I forgot to mention that I also tried setting WRKOBJDIR, but make
would then complain about a recursive WRKDIR.  Then I somehow figured
that WRKOBJDIR is meant as a global pkgsrc setting.

Thanks again,
