@Daniel, there is a CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME?

http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.12/cmake.html#variable:CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.12/cmake.html#variable:PROJECT_NAME

The documentation for both variables is misleading. As far as I
understand it, PROJECT_NAME is the name of the current project, while
CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME us the name of the top-level project.

Ah, I see. I always use PROJECT_NAME as a way of not repeating the name of the target being built (this is in a project that generally has one library or executable per directory, and calls project() for each of them).

In that case, I'd think CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION would not be the correct thing to set (except maybe for the very first project() seen). Else I think we'd risk making this even more confusing ;-).
