Yeah, I see it now. At the time I just didn't realize the implications for my project.

I may not have a wide-enough vision to judge what would be best in general, but it does sound like a lumped SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRS would be easiest to implement and most flexible (as long as it doesn't hurt anything if you put more paths than you need in the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES() call in the CMakeLists.txt for an external project -- I'm ignorant about that...)
