I'm curious: Given that you provide IMPORTED targets, what would a user need 
these variables for? Do you have a particular use-case that needs them?

You should populate the IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS target property to record 
configurations which have a corresponding location. See the files shipped 
with Qt5 or the files generated by CMake itself when exporting targets for 
example.

Is it possible/reasonable to determine if a particular GSL package has a 
dependency? On ATLAS, for example.

Thanks,

Steve.
