Summary:                    ADD_SUBDIRECTORY with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL fails to
include target dependencies(XCode Generator)
Description: 
If the main target executable depends on targets that are in a subdirectory,
using EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL in ADD_SUBDIRECTORY fails to include the target
dependencies, leading to linking errors.

>From documentation: 
"Note that inter-target dependencies supercede this exclusion. If a target built
by the parent project depends on a target in the subdirectory, the dependee
target will be included in the parent project build system to satisfy the
dependency"

This works fine for MSYS, Unix and Visual Studio generators, but NOT XCode.
