Comment (by alamaison):
Incorporating a project dependency by adding it as a subdirectory is a
hack. A commonly-used hack, admittedly, but still not a great idea.
CMake provides better mechanisms such as ExternalProject with a
superproject build. Or you can use one of the package-managers available
for CMake (I love [https://github.com/ruslo/hunter Hunter]).
If you provide a patch that does what you're after, without making the
CMake files more complex, I see no problem with applying it. But I can't
promise a future change won't break it.
