Sorry to go off on a tangent, but this triggered a question in my mind...

I have a wrapping utility file that declares some (CMake) helper 
functions/macros to automatically generate Python bindings for a C++ 
library. There is some dependency logic that uses custom target 
properties under the hood.

Right now I am using define_property to declare those. Should I (can I) 
not do that?

Loosely related: is there a way to make export() and install(EXPORT) set 
these properties for exported targets?
