#
# CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS(<prefix> <options> <one_value_keywords>
# <multi_value_keywords> args...)
#
# CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS() is intended to be used in macros or functions
# for parsing the arguments given to that macro or function.  It
# processes the arguments and defines a set of variables which hold the
# values of the respective options.
#
# The <options> argument contains all options for the respective macro,
# i.e.  keywords which can be used when calling the macro without any
# value following, like e.g.  the OPTIONAL keyword of the install()
# command.
#
# The <one_value_keywords> argument contains all keywords for this macro
# which are followed by one value, like e.g.  DESTINATION keyword of the
# install() command.
#
# The <multi_value_keywords> argument contains all keywords for this
# macro which can be followed by more than one value, like e.g.  the
# TARGETS or FILES keywords of the install() command.
#
# When done, CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS() will have defined for each of the
# keywords listed in <options>, <one_value_keywords> and
# <multi_value_keywords> a variable composed of the given <prefix>
# followed by "_" and the name of the respective keyword.  These
# variables will then hold the respective value from the argument list.
# For the <options> keywords this will be TRUE or FALSE.
#
# All remaining arguments are collected in a variable
# <prefix>_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS, this can be checked afterwards to see
# whether your macro was called with unrecognized parameters.
#
# As an example here a my_install() macro, which takes similar arguments
# as the real install() command:
#
# ::
#
#    function(MY_INSTALL)
#      set(options OPTIONAL FAST)
#      set(oneValueArgs DESTINATION RENAME)
#      set(multiValueArgs TARGETS CONFIGURATIONS)
#      cmake_parse_arguments(MY_INSTALL "${options}" "${oneValueArgs}"
#                            "${multiValueArgs}" ${ARGN} )
#      ...
#
#
#
# Assume my_install() has been called like this:
#
# ::
#
#    my_install(TARGETS foo bar DESTINATION bin OPTIONAL blub)
#
#
#
# After the cmake_parse_arguments() call the macro will have set the
# following variables:
#
# ::
#
#    MY_INSTALL_OPTIONAL = TRUE
#    MY_INSTALL_FAST = FALSE (this option was not used when calling my_install()
#    MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION = "bin"
#    MY_INSTALL_RENAME = "" (was not used)
#    MY_INSTALL_TARGETS = "foo;bar"
#    MY_INSTALL_CONFIGURATIONS = "" (was not used)
#    MY_INSTALL_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS = "blub" (no value expected after "OPTIONAL"
#
#
#
# You can then continue and process these variables.
#
# Keywords terminate lists of values, e.g.  if directly after a
# one_value_keyword another recognized keyword follows, this is
# interpreted as the beginning of the new option.  E.g.
# my_install(TARGETS foo DESTINATION OPTIONAL) would result in
# MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION set to "OPTIONAL", but MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION
# would be empty and MY_INSTALL_OPTIONAL would be set to TRUE therefor.
