Summary0014263: The relative position of the parameters in ExternalProject_Add is important
DescriptionThe relative position of the parameters in ExternalProject_Add is important.
For example, the "BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1" options must be after "BUILD_COMMAND ..." but not before.

This requirement should be relaxed or a better error message should be displayed.

Maybe ExternalProject should be ported to use CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS()?

Re 0014263:0033470: No, the existing _ep_parse_arguments works in a way cmake_parse_arguments doesn't support.

ExternalProject_Add creates the custom target, then processes the arguments and stores them in target properties, then inspects the properties to decide what to do. Therefore it is declarative and the order should not matter.

@ycollet, please provide a sample invocation of each order and explain how they behave differently, why one way is wrong, and what error messages you do or do not get.
