Side note: this is not a fair characterization of Qt's support for CMake.
Qt5 is an outstanding example of how an upstream can make it easy to use
a project with CMake even when the upstream itself does not use CMake.
Qt5 provides package configuration files for find_package(), and once
loaded they provide imported targets with usage requirements.  Building
a CMake-based project against Qt5 couldn't be much easier IMO.

Furthermore, all the CMake-related files come with Qt5 and are maintained
there rather than in CMake.  This is much easier than Qt4, where FindQt4
in CMake has needed maintenance with every new upstream version.
