Sure. I’m not going to debate that. A fix of the timestamp issue is
obviously the right way to go here for the benefit of all.
I was just pointing out there are other alternatives the original
poster can use to make it work immediately with nearly zero effort.
The timestamp issue should be fixed. But so should the 1,000 other
open bugs against CMake.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. Unfortunately I cant use a tarball,
we need the sources to be expanded in the tree for various reasons.
I'm going to try to fix the bug and make it available. If that doesnt
work out, I'll try to substitute the download command for an explicit
cp command and see if that works.
thanks again,
ashok

I've got everything to work by specifying a DOWNLOAD_COMMAND in
ExternalProject_Add. I had to use ' cp -r --preserve=timestamps...' to
get it to work. The cp command was not preserving the timestamp and we
know the ExternalProject is dependent on timestamps.
I'll work on the proper fix in the ExternalProject module and report back.
Thanks for all the tips/help,
ashok
