I mean with an external source here a directory which is not directly managed
and controlled by the build system. I see installation directories as a
well-known example for the use case when you occasionally compare the run time
behaviour of an installed library to a freshly built one.
The build system encapsulates file name conventions (and file formats) for the
software generation. I would like to reuse such knowledge so that I can also
refer to libraries from other sources in a generic way.

Thanks for your hint.
I'm sorry that I overlooked an other preprocessor symbol which is relevant here.
My evolving CMake scripts show better results now.
Regards,
Markus
