My dislike against these functions is probably known, and now I would like to bring this to a new level: I would like to formally deprecate these functions. I don't think they serve any useful purpose anymore, given that now even the pkg-config module can (and does) return absolute paths to the libraries.
The plan is to introduce 2 new policies and whenever you set cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13) and use these functions you will get a warning telling you to stop that nonsense. Thoughts? Eike
