The ExternalProject module does not use cmake_parse_arguments.
Its argument parsing is a lightweight state machine and mostly just
stores values in target properties for later query.  Having to route
that through another argument parsing command would not help much.
All the values would come back in variables just to turn around and
put them in target properties.
