[CMake] Modern superbuild template including support for

[Andrey Pokrovskiy]

Hm, I don't understand how that possibly could work (maybe there some
explicit support for that in the project generator for MSVS).
And are you able to browse the source code of all your dependencies
(that were downloaded)?

Using visual studio as an example, you generate a visual studio solution which downloads and compiles all dependencies, inclulding the library.  After the initial build, you just use the solution file generated for the library thereafter.  I've not tested QT Creater, but I'll see if I can verify your difficulties next week.
