It's still under development. I'm working on major improvements to
find_package right now. Next I need to do some link computation work to
support "imported" library targets which will make the above possible.
I'm hoping to get these two steps done for the 2.6 release.
I'm still think it might be a good idea to add a new command additionally to
target_link_libraries() for that, like e.g.
target_use_package(foo bar)
because in the example above the same syntax is used as with current
cmake but
much more happens. A new command name for that would make it easier for
somebody who knows cmake to see that here something different is going on.
I'm sorry but I think I have not understood what target_use_package is
useful for. Say my system has a /usr/lib/libbar.so. It just works for
me if I do target_link_library(foo bar). What am I missing?
