15Add a list of subdirectories to the build.  The :command:`add_subdirectory`
16command should be used instead of ``subdirs`` although ``subdirs`` will still
17work.  This will cause any CMakeLists.txt files in the sub directories
18to be processed by CMake.  Any directories after the ``PREORDER`` flag are
19traversed first by makefile builds, the ``PREORDER`` flag has no effect on
20IDE projects.  Any directories after the ``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` marker will
21not be included in the top level makefile or project file.  This is
22useful for having CMake create makefiles or projects for a set of
23examples in a project.  You would want CMake to generate makefiles or
24project files for all the examples at the same time, but you would not
25want them to show up in the top level project or be built each time
26make is run from the top.
