[CMake] Modern superbuild template including support for

I can vouch that the superbuild project works fine both for visual studio and for xcode.  Using visual studio as an example, you generate a visual studio solution which downloads and compiles all dependencies, inclulding the library.  After the initial build, you just use the solution file generated for the library thereafter.  I've not tested QT Creater, but I'll see if I can verify your difficulties next week.

Such approach doesn't work with IDE. For example, when I open main
CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator I only see two *.cmake files. Superbuilds
use ExternalProject_Add() which kills a lot CMake benefits when used
for CMake project from CMake project.
