+# - Convenience macro for setting version variables.
+# ECM_SET_VERSION_VARIABLES(<prefix> <major> <minor> <patch>)
+#
+# This macro sets the following variables:
+#  <prefix>_VERSION_MAJOR to <major>
+#  <prefix>_VERSION_MINOR to <minor>
+#  <prefix>_VERSION_PATCH to <patch>
+#  <prefix>_SOVERSION to <major>
+#  <prefix>_VERSION_STRING to "<major>.<minor>.<patch>"
+#
+# It is basically a shortcut, so instead of
+#
+#  set(FOO_MAJOR_VERSION 0)
+#  set(FOO_MINOR_VERSION 0)
+#  set(FOO_PATCH_VERSION 1)
+#  set(FOO_SOVERSION ${FOO_SOVERSION} )
+#  set(FOO_VERSION ${FOO_MAJOR_VERSION}.${FOO_MINOR_VERSION}.${FOO_PATCH_VERSION})
+#
+# you can simply write
+#
+#  ecm_set_version_variables(FOO 0 0 1)
+#
+# You can do with these variables whatever you want, there is no other automagic or
+# anything that depends on them.
