+  # cppitertools has support files for three buildsystems in its repo:

+  # to detect this package since it has no pkg-config.
+  # However the CMake system also specifies the entire source repo as an install
+  # target, including support files, the build directory, etc.
+  # We can't simply take cppitertools-config.cmake for ourselves because before
+  # install it's placed in non-specific private CMake subdirectory of the build
