You would have to put the SUBDIRS in one level higher.

The CMakeLists in one directory above would look like this:
SUBDIRS(vtol vdgl vtol/tests vtol/examples vdgl/tests vdgl/examples)

That is what is done in VTK.

I found the problem and it has been around for as long as the nmake generator.
The unix generator is OK, it is just borland and nmake that were broken.  The fix
is small and should make it into patch 2.
