Does anybody have a solution around this? The only way i could think of is to 
copy the common folder during configure time and run cmake again inside it by 
using the current cache. This is not a very efficient way as not all of the 
common folder code is necessary in every project. Also code changes in the 
common directory will not result in an update in the project.
