[CMake] ExternalProject_Add ... output directy (sln file directory)

[Christophe Demez]

BTW,

I notice this too, if I use the following command line with an empty 
cmakelists.txt file : cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

And it also generate the .sln (and other files) in the same folder, but 
I don't request to build such a solution ! right ?

In reality, I only need a cmakelists.txt file that will build an 
external library for Android (Ninja generator, directly from AndroidStudio).
For now I use the wrong generator for test.
