This will roughly do what I want, but I think it does not correctly
express things.  For the sub-project, yadda is not optional, and if I
call cmake in that sub-project's directory, it should fail.

What I think would be appropriate would be a command
add_subdirectory_optional(...) or add_subdirectory_and_ignore_errors(...)
or something similar.
