This repository contains a generalized implementation for downloading an

external project's source at CMake's configure step rather than as part

of the main build. The primary advantage of this is that the project's source

code can then be included directly in the main CMake build using the

add_subdirectory() command, making all of the external project's targets,

etc. available without any further effort. The technique is fully explained

in the article available at:

https://crascit.com/2015/07/25/cmake-gtest/

An example as described in that article is provided here to demonstrate

how to use the DownloadProject module. It uses [googletest][1] as the

example, downloading and building trivial gtest and gmock test cases

to show the technique.
