[CMake] ExternalProject_Add, static library, Ninja generator

[Charles Nicholson]

Thanks for the quick response, Nils, that fixed it!

I'm curious, though, why wasn't simply marking my lib as depending on the
externalproject_add target enough? I like using the byproducts line since
it's more exact and descriptive, but shouldn't it work without that?

Thanks again,
Charles
