If that were possible it would be great. Consider e.g. boost; they
link automatically on windows machines and they don't export their
build targets. Typically I expect a library Foo which depends on boost
to provide all required information to build after calling
find_package(Foo) which in this case requires the definition of
FOO_LIBRARY_DIRS containing the path to the boost libraries.

But I see your point since I should enforce what you wrote for my
personal libraries...

Thank you for the tip!
