--- Comment #3 from Albert Astals Cid <aacid at kde.org> ---
The problem is, no one is ever going to think about using
${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR} instead of ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} because when you're
writing the code, you're not thinking about "people that abuse cmake to make my
code be a subfolder of their code".

We might fix this, but it'd break again at some point because i'm never going
to remember to use a weird variable instead of the variable that i'm used to
using.

I'm sorry if this causes you trouble, but i'm going to close this as WONTFIX.

Maybe what you want is
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/ExternalProject.html ?
