Hi,

I am quite sure that a lot of people already used OpenGL and GLFW.  
To make GLFW work I need to install manually GLAD from here:  
[https://glad.dav1d.de/](https://glad.dav1d.de/)

Is there any way to avoid the manual installation and download glad using “ExternalProject\_Add” ?  
I would like to download dependencies automatically.
