Summary:                    ExternalProject_Add works in a wrong way for DEPENDS
property
Description: 
It should be noticed that at the version 2.8.8 this error didn't appear.
Trying to add dependencies to an ExternalProject brings me to the error like 

-External project "MyDependencyLibrary" has no stamp_dir

Actually I have the following CMakeLists tree:
1). A main one, where I declaring targets like IMPORTED libraries (to the libs
produced by "MyExternalProject"), etc. and where I have 2 calls to
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(...);
2). A Leaf 1, where ADD_LIBRARY( MyDependencyLibrary ...) exists, defining some
target "MyDependencyLibrary";
3). A Leaf 2, where ExternalProject_Add( MyExternalProject DEPENDS
MyDependencyLibrary ...) exists;

In such a building tree I get the mentioned above error. At the earlier version
(CMake-2.8.8) all was Ok!
