"Build" command in a project's subdirectory (CMake project)

[Yavuz Mert]

Hi,
On projects toolview of 5.X, there is new a tool button -the second one from 
left- with the hint "Show Targets"
If that is selected I can right click the target and build the individual 
target, but not the directory.

I checked with Kdevelop 4.7 and it also acts the same way, you can build 
individual cmake targets, but not the subdirectory. The only difference I can 
see is on 4.7 the targets are always shown, there is no checkbutton. So, 
AFAICS the functionality is same.
