For kdesupport ( I guess it's the same issue there) previously I checked out 
one module and built it, now it's 10 or 15 different git repositories.
This is quite inconvinient.
Probably similar for kde e.g. kdegames etc.

So, what I'm doing right now for kdesupport is to create one CMakeLists.txt, 
which contains all the contained projects (automoc4, phonon, attica, akonadi, 
...) via the externalproject()-feature from CMake.
What it does, is it gets and updates all the sources from git, configures, 
builds and installs them.
So it feels almost like it did before.

It's mostly working already. But I'm not sure where to put that 
CMakeLists.txt, since there is no "kdesupport" anymore.

Interested in this ?
Where do you think should I put this ?
