Hi Stefan,

I think you should look into options, and the CMake dependent option macro.
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.4/cmake.html#command:option
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.4/cmake.html#module:CMakeDependentOption


The idea is to guard add_subdirectory commands with if commands.
The if commands would be checking the value of the options.
It's not really pretty, but it may be enough for you to do the job.

Hope that it helps.
