We are hitting this plugin error on Windows:

@ben.boeckel @mwestphal I believe you were discussing this plugin recently. Thoughts?

Hmm. Something isn’t looking for response files?

This needs some debugging of what’s going on inside of `vtkProcessXML` itself. `parse_expand_args` is meant to handle that and is called right away, so something else is going on here.

Out of my depth here. All I know is that it was compiling on windows when I merged it.
