[CMake] Subprojects and Cmake?

[Nicholas Braden]

If you are using the add_subdirectory approach, I believe you should
not be using find_package and instead you just need to use
target_link_libraries to have everything handled for you. Another
approach would be making a superproject that builds your dependencies
and your own project via ExternalProject_Add - this generally works
well especially since it allows the user to easily customize the build
of each dependency or use an existing install, and you don't have to
worry about name collisions.
