Summary0015560: EXTERNALPROJECT_ADD with missing SOURCE_DIR gives unclear error
DescriptionWhen specifying SOURCE_DIR, I get the same as bug 0010346:

error: no download info for 'libtorrent' -- please specify
  existing/non-empty SOURCE_DIR or one of URL, CVS_REPOSITORY and CVS_MODULE,
  SVN_REPOSITORY, GIT_REPOSITORY, HG_REPOSITORY or DOWNLOAD_COMMAND

Has this regressed?
Steps To ReproduceExternalProject_Add( libtorrent
    SOURCE_DIR lib/libtorrent
)

*argh* Sorry, I did not use the path relative to the source. Tried to find lib/libtorrent in build directory.

I've improved the error message to make this mistake easier to notice:

 ExternalProject: Improve error when SOURCE_DIR is missing
