Summary:                    external project doesn't pass CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER
to subprojects
Description: 
When building an external project (ExternalProject_Add) that depends on Fortran,
the CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER doesn't get passed to the external project. I would
guess that the other Fortran build options aren't passed either.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Download the ParaView superbuild repo at
http://review.source.kitware.com/#/t/2904/
2) Set the Fortran compiler to a non-default value.
3) Enable the nektar reader plugin (ENABLE_nektarreader) and ParaView
(ENABLE_paraview)
4) Configure and build and note that in the paraview/src/paraview-build that
there will be the default Fortran compiler that CMake finds.
