The online help says that we should use ADD_SUBDIRECTORY rather than

Does anyone know why we're supposed to prefer ADD_SUBDIRECTORY?
Perhaps there is an effort to use consistent naming for command names,
where the name is a _verb_ describing the command.
Most (but not all) of the CMake command names are verbs. For example:
Try_run, Set_target_properties, Execute_process, Find_library, Include.
SUBDIRS is processed at the end of the current CMakeLists.txt file.
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY is
done immediately. So, if you set variables in the parent directory they
will not be seen in the subdir when
SUBDIRS is used.
