DEPENDS seems to mean that the external project depends on something
else. If I wanted to make X depend on Y, wouldn't I use
ADD_DEPENDENCIES?

I don't think I understand how to use CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS. It seems to be a
way to pass information from the calling project to the external project
via a cache. But I need to send information the other way, from the
external project back to the caller.

I'm not sure how to do this. X would need to spelunk around in Y's
external dependencies, I think?
