I don't know if Cmake is available VMS. From

  http://www.vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3974&pos=6

it looks like the only problem with Cmake on VMS is that it does not
generate MMS rules (as you, probably, know, MMS is VMS native make, it
is close to Posix make. Since VMS has gmake (on the Freeware CD)
and Cmake can generate rules for gmake, I'm not sure what's the point
in adding support for MMS to Cmake.

Anyway, I'll try to find out if Cmake was ported to VMS and will get back
to you.

Thanks,
