No no... You should not move anything. Keep the files from GitHub as they are, otherwise the top level script may not find the scripts for each library.

Well, there is no need to if you do not desire. The only thing you need to do, is to point to the location of the source for each library you desire to build. Heck, you can even skip the CMake GUI and do everything using CMake command-line. Just supply the paths with using the -D flag and you are set. That way you can integrated my CMake scripts in your automated build scripts. Or you could just defined them as environment variables if that is more to you liking.
