ExternalProject: Set LABELS property to targets
his is useful for using CDash subprojects.

ExternalProject: Set FOLDER property to targets
This is useful when using the USE_FOLDERS global property


Seems like something this simple is not quite flexible enough to make it worthwhile. You could do the same thing with set_property calls in your own code immediately after an ExternalProject_Add.

If we go to the trouble to actually incorporate this into ExternalProject, shouldn't we make it flexible, so that callers can pass in LABELS of their choice, and a FOLDER name of their choice? Simply hard-coding it to the name of the project, and the string "ExternalProjectTargets" may make it possible to organize, but not everybody will be happy with the resulting names and organization.

I think if we're going to add something like this to EP, it should be flexible enough to allow LABELS and FOLDER values to be passed in from the caller.
