So you mean relying on the status of the assembled "include_directories".
Not sure if you want that behavior, since include_directories  just adds
directories while descending the directory tree.

I admit that a a no-op or dummy target is missing for header only
libraries. But
I do not get the part with the 1:1 relationship? Could you elaborate...

Nonetheless I believe that your approach allows interesting uses for
other configuration problems.
