[CMake] Multiple CMakeLists.txt in the same directory

[David Cole]

Well, if you want to organize things that way, you could have one
CMakeLists.txt file and then Project1.cmake, Project2.cmake ....
and then:

CMakeLists.txt:
==============
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(AllProjects)
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Project1.cmake)
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Project2.cmake)
....
