I use it to collect information to generate a CMakeList.txt file to be
used by users of my library.
So i have a variable for all include paths need by the user, same for
libs and defines.
I agree that it is in general not needed to make a module, but if
modules use other modules (optional ) etc. it is often to share
information from one module to another (e.g. which defines and libs
are needed if a certain module is switched on.) One can simply not
link a library to a target, if that library was not generated.
Anyway i often have the need i think ;-)
You solution looks very nice.
I will submit the request, if not already done by John??
Thanks!
