[CMake] find_package and get_target_property

[Saad Khattak]

Thanks Marc. I assume you mean the library does not export its targets
properly? Something like this:

# https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Tutorials/Exporting_and_Importing_Targets
install(TARGETS generator DESTINATION lib/myproj/generators EXPORT
myproj-targets)
install(EXPORT myproj-targets DESTINATION lib/myproj)
