    \qmltype Exporter.cmake
    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \since Qbs 2.3

    \brief Provides support for generating \CMAKE packages from dynamic, static and header library
    products.

    The Exporter.cmake module contains the properties and rules to create a \CMAKE config
    \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.29/manual/cmake-packages.7.html#config-file-packages}{files}
    from the \l Export item of a \l Product.

    For instance, suppose you are creating a library. To allow exporting to \CMAKE, you would write
    something like the following:
    \code
    DynamicLibrary {
        name: "mylibrary"
        qbs.installPrefix: "/opt/mylibrary"
        Depends { name: "Exporter.cmake" }
        Exporter.cmake.packageName: "MyLibrary"
        property string headersInstallDir: "include"
        // ...
        Group {
            name: "API headers"
            files: ["mylib.h"]
            qbs.install: true
            qbs.installDir: headersInstallDir
        }
        Group {
            fileTagsFilter: ["Exporter.cmake.package"]
            qbs.installDir: "lib/cmake/MyLibrary"
        }
        Export {
            Depends { name: "cpp" }
            cpp.includePaths: FileInfo.joinPaths(
                exportingProduct.qbs.installRoot,
                exportingProduct.qbs.installPrefix,
                exportingProduct.headersInstallDir)
        }
    }
    \endcode
    To build against this library, from within your \CMAKE project, you simply
    use \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.29/command/find_package.html}{find_package}:
    \code
        find_package(MyLibrary PATHS REQUIRED)
        add_executable(Consumer main.cpp)
        target_link_libraries(Consumer MyLibrary)
    \endcode
