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

[Christophe Demez]

Also,

I have try with a sample, just a main and a lib. But it seems that the 
lib CMakeLists.txt file is not called !

The project is created, but it does not point to the source code by 
example and the "message" are not displayed in the console too !
