Yes, in my opinion, these are both better solutions then using git
submodule or a simple script, and then having to build everything
separately.

I'm still interested in using cmake's export functionality, since this
would replicate the experience of developing and building kdegraphics
in a unified SVN module (with dependency tracking,
installing-all-at-once and all that).
