Summary:                    ExternalProject Module doesn't work with GHS Multi
Generator and Git
Description: 
When using the ExternalProject module with the GHS Multi generator external
project dependencies are not obtained and built, rule files are missing but the
external project GPJ files still report success when building.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create a CMake project which makes use of the ExternalProject module to pull
in an external project using Git.
2. Execute CMake to generate the GPJ files.
3. Build the generated default GPJ.
4. Note that the dependency is not resolved and that *.rule files referenced by
any "CMake Rules.gpj" which is in turn referenced by each external project GPJ,
which is referenced by the ExternalProjectTargets.gpj are missing.
