CMake doesn't know at configure-time what the $<...> at the start of the
path will evaluate to at generate time (It could even be different things,
depending on the config).
I thought that would be obvious, but a patch to
Help/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.rst
or
Help/command/target_include_directories.rst
might help.
Thanks,
Steve.
