Summary:                    FindBacktrace.cmake to find backtrace()
implementation
Description: 
Using backtrace() become somewhat tricky when going multi-platform. On some
systems (e.g., GNU/Linux), it resides in libc itself and requires
<execinfo.h>; on other (e.g., OpenBSD) it's provided by a separate
library, libexecinfo, but with the same header; and sometimes (NetBSD, IIRC) it
even needs a different header - <backtrace.h>.

Additional Information: 
This module was initially created while porting Clementine to OpenBSD and
successfully survived for a few release updates already.

The similar modules could be found in other software, for example:
