 ?

This basically only sets up version variables for the current project, i.e. it 
replaces

project(Foo CXX)

set(Foo_VERSION_MAJOR 1)
set(Foo_VERSION_MINOR 2)
set(Foo_VERSION_PATCH 3)
set(Foo_VERSION
    ${Foo_VERSION_MAJOR}.${Foo_VERSION_MINOR}.${Foo_VERSION_PATCH})


with one function call, which results in a set of variables with standard 
names (not related to find_package()).
