------------------------------------------------------------

I usually use a git submodule when pulling ExternalProjects, but there are some cases for deps that don't have a git repo or those that delete tags ( I had this with a Pivotal Repo ), which require download. 
When I said download dependencies I was including things like boost, which you can do with a variety of cmake dep managers.
