It already works if you set up the data reference by hand.  We will probably
demo the automagic data upload approach I've been developing at the upcoming
meeting.  Either way, in the case of a large test input image with meaningful
metadata (e.g. "Visible Human") it is better to upload the file to MIDAS by
hand.

Read the instructions in the CMake/ExternalData.cmake module comments.
Look in the Examples directory for use of DATA{} syntax.
