Sure, don't take my bubbling to mean that I object to the diff. I'm just
musing on it's long-term necessity
When I dump the variables created by the initial PKG_CHECK_MODULES call in
the finder they do have the requirements in the LIBRARIES and INCLUDES. So in
point of fact I guess the entire finder is doing it wrong to begin with? ^^
The reason it needs to reimplement the entire dependency lookup is because it
uses the variables incorrectly. Out of the retrieved data from pkgconfig it
constructs find_ calls of which (I guess) the find_path for includes is
entirely moot because PC_GTK3_INCLUDE_DIRS is complete already, and the
find_library call should loop over the names in PC_GTK3_LIBRARIES and find
them. Actually I'm also right now looking at the FindPkgConfig and it looks
like it has a IMPORTED_TARGET since 3.6, so if we were to bump the cmake
requirements of plasma the entire finder could be shrunk down to the imported
targets option which internally will cause findpkgconfig to do the find_library
dance *and* set up neat targets we can use from the outside.
