-# <DEPENDENCY>_LIB / <DEPENDENCY>_INCLUDE.  Since then, Ceres now has
-# FindPackage() scripts for all of its dependencies which obey the standard
-# CMake variables: <DEPENDENCY>_LIBRARIES & <DEPENDENCY>_INCLUDE_DIRS.  In order
-# to ensure backwards compatibility, convert any legacy variables to
-# _directory_ hints for the FindPackage() scripts.
