Lines 397 to 402 in 242a8ea

	# Check for ArchiveVersionInfo within same directory and use that info is available ...
	include(ArchiveVersionInfo_${VI_PREFIX} OPTIONAL RESULT_VARIABLE ARCHIVE_VERSION_PRESENT)
	if(ARCHIVE_VERSION_PRESENT AND ${VI_PREFIX}_VERSION_SUCCESS)
	message(STATUS "Info: Version information from archive file.")
	# ... get version info via git otherwise.

In CMake we already have the write_basic_package_version_file(...) function that generates a config file for packages (which are also archives).
