[CMake] project command not working, when used via macro (from an included file)

[Chuck Atkins]

ajneu,

The call to project(...) needs to be explicit.  See
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/project.html:

The top-level CMakeLists.txt file for a project must contain a literal,
direct call to the project()
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/project.html#command:project>
command; loading one through the include()
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/include.html#command:include>
command is not sufficient.
