There is an additional note for this rule: - If a Config file is created, it must be created independent of the buildsystem used by the project. pcre can be built with autotools or with cmake. There is little point in adding some install(EXPORT) lines to the CMakeLists.txt files because the config files would not be created when building pcre with autotools. In that case, some external script would have to be used to create the files. llvm also creates cmake config files I think, but they also have an autotools buildsystem (which as far as I know does not create the config files). So, in that sense they're 'breaking the rule' because creating a useful package depends on building them with cmake anyway.
