[CMake] [cmake] Not reading CMakelists.txt in Subdirectory

[Henry Johnson]

There weren't any errors generated, but the sln built for VC was missing 
most of the modules that I wanted to build because they were in 
subdirectories.  The IF (EXISTS ..) statement found the directory, but 
the ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(...) statement did not.  Hope that helps.
