+1. I'm interested in the [typical] Boost header-only library case:
- The CMakeLists.txt for building its tests
- The .cmake file for locating the library
- The consumption of the library in a user's CMakeLists

I have a guess ( based on my fairly basic usage of CMake) that at
least #3 there should be simple (i.e. would it involve more than
adding to include_directories or target_include_directories?).
