Note that one downside to that is that people not using CMake cannot
make use of that. They still need a pkgconfig file. So in a sense,
pkgconfig is the common denominator everybody can use, regardless of
build system.
What happened with that autoconf macro that was able to read in .cmake files?
I don't know. But there's other build systems out there too. Like Meson,
qmake, qbs... pkgconfig does seem like the sane thing to offer.
Basically, whenever I see a build system trying to invent its own
package configuration system, xkcb 927 pops into my mind :-P
