I can't see anything in the CMake docs which seems to facilitate this, but
I was wondering if there's any way to test whether a target is defined
inside a generator expression? What I'd like to be able to do is something
like this:

target_compile_definitions(bar PUBLIC
$<STREQUAL:$<TARGET_EXISTS:foo>:HAVE_FOO>)

This would open up the possibility of setting build flags, etc. depending
on things defined later in the CMakeLists.txt file. For a good example of
the sort of problem it might solve, have a look at the following question
on StackOverflow:
