Module for querying autotools variables
In several projects cmake is used as a secondary build system, either for a transitional period when porting to cmake or permanently because the autotools build system has limitations on certain platforms (e.g. Windows/msvc)
For this purpose, the dbus project created a macro package MacrosAutotools.cmake for retrieving information from the autotools build system, which reduces the maintenance effort related to version updates and configuration settings.
The question is whether it makes sense to include this module in cmake and if so, what would have to be changed to be included.
