The idea is that you let the build system take care of dependencies and don't 
build it into your own repository.

Basically you select an "install directory" for your project and start by 
compiling and installing extra-cmake-modules & syntax-highlighting to that 
install directory. Then you compile and install your application to that same 
install directory. You pas that install directory to CMake with: 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=....
