[CMake] Parsing XML from CMAke

[Martin Guillon]

I can to check the version but that s not enough. We also put the list of libs we link with and the internal directory structure of the 3rd party, which cmake doesn't know

Um, couldn't you just use the FIND_PACKAGE( Qt4 REQUIRED ) and others  
like that to find your 3rd party packages? Just a suggestion without
