<font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've always been a little confused by FIND_PACKAGE
and those "*-config.cmake" files. So much so that I didn't use
them in my build system at all. The main question I have is that I have
several developers and numerous little and big libraries. Because the whole
project is so big it would be prohibitive for them all to work from a master
CMakeLists.txt file at the top. I want each developer to be able to go
the folder of the library they want to work on today and start building
there. I want all the libraries that library depends on to be built or
rebuilt if anything has changed in addition to building the current library.

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been unable to find a simple solution
to this problem using CMake, which makes me wonder if what I'm doing is
off the wall, but it sounds so normal to me. I see these "*-config.cmake"
files but it seems they are generated from a CMakelist.txt file, which
wouldn't make any sense, because I'm not going to have a developer go to
each dependant library and build it seperately so that the "*-config.cmake"
can be generated so that he can have those variables back in the library
he really wants to build.</font>
