Maybe you should post a link to the thread so we know what you're
talking about?

subdirs() is deprecated. Use add_subdirectory().

You can explicitly tell CMake the name of your list file with something
like cd build && cmake ../MyCMakeLists.myext.

You could let the CMakeLists in the data directory take care of subdir1
and subdir3 and move the CMakeLists for subdir2 into subdir2.

But basically I think your project organization seems broken and I would
try to fix it rather than hack around it.
