+# OVERVIEW / INTENT:  AutoBuild is a series of CMake macros and functions for working with sub-projects that are dependencies of a main project.  We assume that both the main project and dependencies each build with CMake already.  AutoBuild manages the process of checking to see if the dependencies are already available, installed on the system.  If not, AutoBuild will automatically download, build, and install the dependencies for you as part of the CMake Configure process.
+
+# WHY IS THIS NEEDED / USEFUL?:  AutoBuild is similar in spirit to CMake's ExternalProject_add() command.  In fact, AutoBuild uses that command internally.  However, there is a key difference between AutoBuild and ExternalProject_add().  With ExternalProject_add() there is a chicken-and-the-egg problem.  ExternalProject_add() doesn't download and build the external project until after CMake has finished running and you are building your actual code using Unix Makefiles, Visual Studio, or Xcode.  This means the dependency does not exist on disk until CMake has finished running, and, thus, there is no way to use CMake's find_package() routines to find the dependency.  You can still make your project link with the dependency, but you have to hardcode paths to tell CMake where it will exist after it is built rather than find it already installed on the system.  If you want to only build the dependency if it is not already found on the system, then this means you need to maintain two ways of linking with the dependency in your CMakeLists.txt, using one approach when the dependency is found already installed and using another approach (hardcoded paths with ExternalProject_add()) when it is not found.  The hardcoded paths can get a bit complex when working with cross-platform code, and this is precisely what CMake's find_package() is supposed to handle, so it is a bit annoying that it cannot be used in this case.
+
+# HOW IT WORKS:  AutoBuild takes a different approach where the goal is for our project's CMakeLists.txt file to always use the same approach to link with a dependency.  If the dependency is found on the system, then we go ahead and link with it right away.  If it is not found, then rather than scheduling it to be built as part of the build process for our own project, we "pause" our build for a moment to download, build, and install the dependency.  Then, once the dependency has been installed, we try again to find it using find_package(), which should always succeed since we just did the install, and continue on building our program.
+
+# LIMITATIONS: Handling dependencies is a hard problem, and this "AutoBuild" strategy is not without its own limitations.  For example, a complication arises when using the CMake GUI.  When using the CMake GUI, users expect to be able to set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX interactively after pressing Configure once to bring up all the available options.  So, there is a problem if we build and install dependency projects during this first run of CMake Configure -- the user will not yet have had a chance to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX before the dependency projects are installed, and they may be installed to an undesirable location.  AutoBuild addresses this by running a status check at the end of the CMake Configure step.  The first time the status check detects that a dependency project should be "auto-built", it prints an informative error message, reminding the user to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and then re-run CMake Configure to actually do the download, build, and install steps for each dependency.  This seems to be a good match for CMake's GUI mode because it also allows the user to check other related settings (e.g., turning off autobuild for specific projects, forcing autobuild even if the dependency is found on the system, setting the directory to use for downloading projects).  
+
+# RUNNING FROM A SCRIPT:  When running from the command line or a script, the error-the-first-time-an-autobuild-is-scheduled behavior described above is typically not desired.  In this case, users should already be setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and any other desired CMake flags on the command line so it is fine to run the autobuilds immediately.  To do this, simply run cmake with the following command line argument: -DAUTOBUILD_EXECUTE_NOW=ON
+
+
+# USAGE: WHAT TO ADD TO YOUR CMAKELISTS.TXT FILE TO USE AUTOBUILD:
+
+# Edit 1: Add two calls to your main CMakeLists.txt: 
+
+# 1a. Near the top of the file include AutoBuild and call init, like so:
+#    include(AutoBuild)
+#    AutoBuild_init()
+
+# 1b. At the end of the file call:
+#    AutoBuild_check_status()
+
+
+# Edit 2: For each target you wish to link with an external dependency, add a use_package() call right after you
+#         define the target with add_library() or add_executable.  If the dependency you wish to link with uses
+#         modern CMake Config Packages, then the generic AutoBuild_use_package() call is all that is needed.  
+#         For example, to link my-program with the MinVR library, add the following to the CMakeLists.txt file 
+#         where you define the my-program target with add_executable:
+
+#    add_execuatable(my-program ${SOURCEFILES})
+#    AutoBuild_use_package(MinVR . my-program PUBLIC MinVR::MinVR
+#        DOWNLOAD_ARGS  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/MinVR/MinVR.git GIT_TAG beta
+#    )
+
+#        Since CMake Config Packages are relatively new and very complex, so not every package provides one
+#        (or a correct one).  In these cases, the generic AutoBuild_use_package() will not work, and we have 
+#        to write a version of that is specific to the project we wish to add as a dependency.  For example,
+#        in order to link with GLFW, which does not provide a ConfigGLFW.cmake file, we must write a
+#        GLFW-specific version of AutoBuild_use_package() and then use it like so:
+
+#     include(AutoBuildGLFW)
+#     AutoBuild_use_package_GLFW(my-program PUBLIC)
+
+#        GLFW is one of the first examples in this style, so it is included in the AutoBuild repo.  If the
+#        repo does not already include an AutoBuild<package-name>.cmake script, then copy an existing 
+#        example, modify it to work for the package of interest, and once it is working, push it back to 
+#        the AutoBuild repo so others can benefit as well.
