I'm trying to figure out in what scenarios one might use import/export verses 
using the new ExternalProject_add.  I'm having a hard time understanding what 
the differences are.  I have a project that builds in simulation mode (using 
microsoft cl compiler) and once testing is done, it's cross-compiled for real 
deployment (using a custom version of gcc).  Right now I have it as an 
ExternalProject that builds the project with a different compiler depending on 
which option one selected.  I read that IMPORT/EXPORT commands are meant for 
cross-compiling.  

When would one pick one method over the other?
