"make clean" behaves a bit strange for me... It seems to remove some of the stamp files, but does not actually perform a "clean" on the external project, or wipe the extracted sources. For me, this is a bit of a problem, since the PATCH_COMMAND will try to re-apply a patch, which of course will fail. Not sure how to teach CMake to not re-patch a source tree... Perhaps wrap the whole thing in a apply_patch.cmake script which creates its own stamp in the external source tree and only applies the patch if that stamp does not exist...
