Summary:                    ExternalProject inits all submodules
Description: 
At the moment ExternalProject is initializing all the submodules of a git
repository, even if the user only wants to checkout a subset of submodules.

With this patch, it initializes only the selected submodules, reducing the
waiting time for repositories with many submodules (such as
https://github.com/boostorg/boost).

Topic: ExternalProject_init_selected_submodules

  ExternalProject: Init only selected git submodules
  http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=6d5aded


I'm not the author of the patch (as you can see from git commit author). It
looks good to me, since the "git submodule update" already downloads only the
selected submodules.
