[cmake-developers] Ninja and add_subdirectory EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL

[Charles Huet]

Here is a prototype that adds a target for each folder the has the
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property set.

Please review it and I'll get it in acceptable shape.

I used the folder name as target for now, this is not final but it was easy
for prototyping.
I am not satisfied with the way I exclude some build targets, but I could
not find the correct way to do it (Install target and such).

I used C++11, but I don't know if this is OK in CMake, I'll refactor if not.

Best
