Hi Brad, I am sorry, but I have to take up this subject again. I want to include Vc (sometimes called Vc-Devel) as an optional dependency. Vc provides a ConfigVc.cmake.
1. When I use "find_package(Vc)", many users get warnings that neither FindVc.cmake nor VcConfig.cmake is found. The warning looks scary and even distracts myself when I am scanning for relevant warning. It is an optional dependency, so a single line "Could NOT find Vc (FindVc.cmake or VcConfig.cmake not found)" would be enough. 2. When I use "find_package(Vc QUIET)", Vc does not show up in the feature summary. How can I achieve both without patching CMake?
