Why is this necessary ?
The documentation for this policy says:
"The base path for such relative entries is not well defined."
I don't understand this.
Why isn't it simply interpreted as relative to ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} in
the CMakeLists.txt where the property is set ?
include_directories(), link_directories() and I think more or less all other
commands interpret relative paths as relative to ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}.
