[CMake] CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake support "Sematic Versioning"?

[Bartlett, Roscoe A.]

Hello CMake Developers,

Any chance a "Semantic Versioning" option can be added to the standard CMake module CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake that implements the "Semantic Versioning" described at:

    http://semver.org/

This is the best defined standard for versioning I have ever seen.  It makes a lot of sense.

The problem with the current implementation of CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake is that it does not have a mode where X in X.Y.Z defines a backward compatible set.

Cheers,

-Ross
